Tamara Kraljic is counsel in the Washington, D.C. office of Hughes Hubbard & Reed LLP, where she works principally with the Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations practice group. She advises clients in matters involving the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and the UK Bribery Act, corporate governance, and securities laws. Tamara has successfully represented clients in litigation proceedings before US state courts and international institutions, such as the World Bank Group, and assisted clients in resolution efforts with various national enforcement agencies, including the US Department of Justice, the US Securities and Exchange Commission, the UK Serious Fraud Office and the French Parquet National Financier. Tamara has extensive experience in conducting global compliance risk assessments, internal investigations and business partner reviews for her clients’ operations in Europe, Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. She has also led extensive anti-corruption compliance due diligence in the mergers & acquisitions context.

Tamara is a committed member of the pro bono community. She is part of Hughes Hubbard’s pro bono committee and has been recognized as Capital Pro Bono Honor Roll attorney since 2016. In 2020, Tamara led a team of Hughes Hubbard attorneys that secured the release, through a motion under the First Step Act, of a defendant previously sentenced to life imprisonment on drug charges who had served nearly 30 years in prison.

Before joining Hughes Hubbard, Tamara was an associate in the international arbitration practice group of a major international law firm in Paris, France where she worked on a range of commercial and investment arbitration matters with a particular focus on the energy sector. Tamara also worked as a fundraiser at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, in Geneva, Switzerland.
