Sullivan & Cromwell last week announced that it's creating a national security practice focusing on economic sanctions, anti-money laundering laws, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act investigations, foreign investment regulations, export controls and import restrictions.

Five partners will serve as co-heads of the practice group: Sharon Cohen Levin, former head of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York's money laundering and asset forfeiture unit; Nicole Friedlander, former SDNY chief of the complex frauds and cybercrime unit; Anthony Lewis, former deputy chief of the terrorism and export crimes section for the U.S. Attorney's Central California District Office; Eric Kadel, co-head of the firm's sanctions and financial crime groups; and Craig Jones, head of the firm's compliance efforts in London.

The Office of the U.S. Trade Representative reappointed Devin Sikes, counsel for Akin Gump, to the U.S. roster for antidumping and countervailing duty disputes stemming from USMCA Chapter 10, the firm announced. The term -- Sikes' fifth on the U.S. roster -- expires March 31, 2025.

Diana Shaw, former acting inspector general for the State Department, has joined Wiley as a partner in the white collar defense and government investigations practice, the firm announced. Shaw worked at State for four years and, before that, at DHS's Office of Inspector General.
