DOJ Criminal Fraud Chief Jeffrey H. Knox To Join Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett LLP

The chief of the Justice Department’s criminal fraud section, Jeffrey H. Knox, will join Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett LLP. Knox is re-joining Simpson Thacher, where he worked as an associate nearly 11 years ago. He said he hoped to add to the firm’s growing white-collar practice, and would likely focus on Justice Department investigations around the country. Knox, who has spent more than a decade as a federal prosecutor, joins the firm in Washington, D.C., as a partner in its government and internal investigations practices.
