Jonathan Zygielbaum is an attorney in the firm’s Washington, D.C. office and a member of the Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations and White Collar & Regulatory Defense practice groups.

Jonathan represents companies in government and internal investigations, congressional inquiries, and criminal and civil enforcement proceedings, with a primary focus on matters involving allegations of bribery and corruption under the U.S. FCPA, money laundering, sanctions violations, and financial and accounting fraud. Jonathan has experience representing telecommunications, aerospace, pharmaceutical, oil and gas, construction and engineering, and financial services companies in matters involving the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, among others.

Jonathan also represents clients in Multilateral Development Bank enforcement proceedings, including matters involving the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, African Development Bank, Inter-American Development Bank and European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. He has represented companies and individuals during all phases of MDB sanctions proceedings, including responding to initial allegations, negotiating settlement agreements, litigating matters before first and second tier adjudicators, and aiding clients in meeting compliance obligations imposed through sanctions or settlement agreements. 

In addition, Jonathan’s practice involves assisting clients in designing, implementing, and testing corporate compliance programs and providing regulatory guidance. He has helped clients establish cutting edge compliance programs designed to mitigate corruption, fraud, money laundering, and sanctions violations risks. Jonathan has also acted on behalf of independent compliance monitors imposed by the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, U.K. Serious Fraud Office, World Bank, African Development Bank and Asian Development Bank, and has acted as intermediary counsel representing companies before independent compliance monitors imposed by these same regulators.

Jonathan also works closely with our corporate department to conduct anti-corruption focused due diligence in connection with corporate transactions, including mergers, acquisitions and de-SPACs.
