Bio

Warren Hamel leads Venable’s Investigations and White Collar Defense Practice. Warren conducts internal investigations and aggressively defends individual, corporate and non-profit clients in a wide range of white collar and environmental criminal defense and civil enforcement litigation. Clients also seek his advice on compliance and internal controls including Information Governance, managing whistleblower issues, FCPA compliance and Sarbanes-Oxley-related matters. Before joining Venable in 2002, Warren served as an Assistant U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, and was Chief of Environmental Crimes and Enforcement for that office. Warren has extensive experience investigating and litigating cases involving mail and wire fraud, bank fraud, fraud on federally funded programs, the Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (FDCA), the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and False Claims Act (FCA), as well as the full panoply of federal and state environmental laws. He has led internal investigations for a broad range of clients, including most recently, a US-based financial services and insurance company, an Indian-based generic pharmaceutical company, and the South American subsidiary of a major US-based retailer. Warren’s clients have also included attorneys and major law firms, who face particularly complex challenges navigating government investigations while protecting client privileges and confidentiality obligations. In addition to managing a national practice, recent investigations and enforcement actions have taken Warren to locations in Europe, South and Central America, Singapore, Africa and India.
