Glen G. McGorty, a senior assistant United States attorney (AUSA) in the Criminal Division in the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY),  has joined joined Crowell & Moring’s White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group.

McGorty was lead counsel in fifteen federal jury trials, and he has briefed and argued over a dozen cases to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.

“Glen is one of the most highly regarded attorneys in the New York criminal bar,” said Janet Levine, chair of Crowell & Moring’s White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group. “Over his career as a prosecutor, he has earned an outstanding reputation among the Southern District bench and his colleagues for excellent lawyering and team leadership. Glen is the perfect addition to our growing white collar group in New York and nationally, as he is not only an extraordinary lawyer and teammate, but he shares Crowell & Moring’s ethos and entrepreneurial spirit.”

McGorty began his career as a federal prosecutor in 1998 through the Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General’s Honors Program.

He served three and a half years as a trial attorney in the Fraud Section of DOJ’s Criminal Division in Washington, D.C. and as a special AUSA in the Eastern District of Virginia (EDVA) before becoming an AUSA in the SDNY.

McGorty received his J.D. from the Northwestern University School of Law and his A.B. from Princeton University where he was class president.
