Former federal prosecutor Jason Linder is returning to Irell & Manella’s Los Angeles office to lead the firm’s global investigations and anticorruption team.

Linder was an associate at Irell & Manella from 2002 to 2007 before he joined the U.S. Department of Justice, where he most recently served as a senior trial attorney in the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act unit in Washington, D.C. Last year Linder prosecuted U.S. v. Embraer, a case in which Brazilian aircraft maker Embraer S.A. agreed to pay $205 million to settle a bribery probe.
