Executive summary

 

D.J. Rossini has more than 25 years of experience leading investigations and directing complex compliance projects. He leverages this vast experience to help Grant Thornton’s clients successfully navigate complicated regulatory and compliance matters.

 

Rossini has led highly sensitive and complex investigations involving financial crimes, AML, health care fraud, bribery and corruption, and national and corporate security matters. He has also led ethics and compliance inquiries involving allegations of misconduct and retaliation, and he has managed discovery disputes. While at the FBI, he held multiple roles, including special agent, chief counsel, and chief compliance and ethics officer. Rossini was also a Special Assistant United States Attorney. In addition to his investigative expertise, he helped evaluate the efficacy of compliance and ethics programs to ensure the procedures and controls were designed properly and operating effectively, the employees conformed to the policies, and developed necessary mitigation plans. He also provided training to FBI and DOJ personnel on ethics and compliance matters and issues.

 

Rossini has provided testimony in federal and state court on issues involving commodities and securities fraud, environmental crimes, embezzlement, bankruptcy fraud and national security matters. His many years of impactful service earned him the Bureau’s Manuel J. Gonzalez Ethics Award, the FBI Medal of Excellence and the U.S. EPA outstanding investigation award.

 

As a lawyer, he appreciates the importance of gathering facts to assist outside counsel and companies for further evaluation and supporting them in determining potential legal strategies. And as a former policy and privacy officer, he understands the value of strong and effective governance and the protection of client data and information to ensure an effective litigation posture.

 

In addition to his successful FBI career, Rossini also led global corporate security for Archer Daniels Midland, and spent many years practicing civil litigation and real estate tax assessment law for local law firms.
