Lauren Dickie is Of Counsel in Quinn Emanuel’s Investigations, Government Enforcement & White Collar Criminal Defense Practice.  An experienced trial lawyer and former federal prosecutor, Ms. Dickie represents companies, boards of directors, and senior executives in white collar criminal matters, regulatory enforcement proceedings, government investigations and complex civil litigation.

Ms. Dickie’s white collar practice focuses on domestic and international matters involving money laundering, tax and securities fraud, corruption and bribery (including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act), Congressional investigations, whistleblower cases, the False Claims Act, health care fraud (including the Anti-Kickback Statute), government contracting, Dodd-Frank regulations, export controls, and U.S. economic sanctions issues.  Ms. Dickie also has significant experience developing and implementing compliance programs for multinational companies and conducting pre and post acquisition due diligence of target companies to identify and mitigate potential corruption, money laundering and sanction-violations risks. 

Ms. Dickie routinely advises clients based in Europe, Latin and South America, the Middle East and Asia and has considerable experience defending clients in multi-jurisdictional investigations and litigation conducted cooperatively by the United States and foreign regulators.

Ms. Dickie also specializes in civil litigation matters involving breach of contract and indemnification disputes, negligent misrepresentation, common law fraud, and civil claims under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (“RICO”). 

Before joining Quinn Emanuel, Ms. Dickie served as an Assistant United States Attorney (“AUSA”) in the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia – a division of the United States Department of Justice – where she prosecuted a variety of crimes, including conspiracy and obstruction of justice, and tried more than 40 criminal cases including approximately 20 jury trials.  As an AUSA, Ms. Dickie also conducted more than 75 grand jury investigations, authored appellate briefs, and argued appeals in both the D.C.
