Firm Named to 2021 Global Investigations Review (GIR) 100

November 19, 2021 – For the fourth consecutive year, Hughes Hubbard has been selected for inclusion in Global Investigations Review's GIR 100, an independent guide to the world's best firms for international investigations.

 
Since 2015, GIR has selected 100 firms from around the world that it deems most able to handle sophisticated cross-border government-led and internal investigations. Rankings for the annual guide are based on extensive research, including the number of active cases, how prominent those cases are and hours billed by the firm on investigations.
 
A Nov. 10 profile of the firm noted that HHR can point to “recent impressive work on a plethora of cases.”
 
In addition to noting several high profile investigations the firm is handling, the profile highlighted that Kevin Abikoff, deputy chair of HHR and co-chair of both the Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations group and the Securities Litigation practice, is currently serving as an independent compliance monitor in two World Bank matters, reflecting “the firm’s robust multilateral development bank practice.”
 
Ryan Fayhee, Michael DeBernardis, Laura Perkins, Marc Weinstein, Bryan Sillaman, Nicolas Tollet and Anne Gaustad were also mentioned. Perkins was recognized by GIR as an FCPA Practitioner to Watch in 2021 and a leading Woman in Investigations in 2018, while Gaustad featured in GIR’s Women in Investigations survey for 2021.
