Veteran white-collar defender Leslie Caldwell told Congress last week she would apply criminal laws with equal force if confirmed as the next head of the U.S. Department of Justice’s Criminal Division, “whether the wrongdoing occurs in a boardroom, across a computer network or on a street corner.”
Caldwell, co-chairwoman of the corporate investigations and white-collar practice group at Morgan, Lewis & Bockius, told the Senate Judiciary Committee she anticipates she will be “very aggressive” in prosecuting cybercrime and intellectual property theft.
