Navigant Consulting, Inc. (NYSE: NCI) has expanded its global
investigations and compliance practice (GIC) with the addition of
Claiborne “Clay” W. Porter, a former supervisor and trial attorney
with the U. S. Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Money Laundering and
Asset Recovery Section, the company announced today.
Porter has been named managing director and head of
investigations. Navigant’s GIC practice combines industry
experience, forensic accounting, and an investigative approach to
help financial institutions and companies effectively respond to
inquiries and government investigations, and navigate compliance.
The practice produces strategies and programs related to anti-money
laundering, anti-bribery and corruption, Dodd-Frank compliance,
FATCA, accounting, and financial fraud.
Porter’s responsibilities will include oversight of Navigant’s
anti-bribery and corruption compliance, and forensic accounting and
financial investigations teams, and he will also work on anti-money
laundering and economic sanctions matters, including issues related
to asset tracing and recovery.
“During his 16 years as a white-collar defense attorney, state
prosecutor, and most recently as a federal prosecutor, Clay handled
complex international investigations and prosecutions related to
white-collar crime,” said Ellen Zimiles, managing director and
leader of Financial Services Advisory and Compliance. “His work
with U.S. and foreign regulators and law enforcement has given him
a unique and valuable perspective into the government’s
expectations as to what constitutes an effective and comprehensive
compliance program for financial institutions and multinational
corporations.”
Porter previously served as the acting principal deputy chief of
the DOJ’s Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Section and as chief
of the Bank Integrity Unit. In those roles, he supervised
approximately 150 attorneys and staff, in addition to managing
complex financial investigations and prosecutions conducted in
partnership with U.S. Attorneys’ offices across the country. He has
been involved in almost every significant Bank Secrecy Act and
sanctions prosecution of a financial institution during the last
seven years.
Prior to his supervisory roles, he led teams of prosecutors in
investigations of financial institutions of all kinds. Before
joining the DOJ, he was an associate with two international law
firms. He also served as an examining attorney for the New York
City Mayor’s Commission to Combat Police Corruption and an
assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, NY, prosecuting violent
crime.
