About Christopher Grigg

For more than 15 years as a federal prosecutor, including in my most recent role as Chief of the National Security Division at the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, I led and supervised hundreds of investigations of suspected export and sanctions violations, fraud, money laundering, trade-secret theft, economic espionage, cybercrime, and terrorism. I also managed numerous complex domestic and international investigations involving counterintelligence, export-control, and sanctions-driven efforts to combat foreign aggression, foreign malign influence, cyber intrusions, and identity theft. I have been a litigation and trial lawyer for more than 20 years and bring my wealth of experience and insight to bear helping clients navigate the world around them. My practice focuses on internal and government investigation; international trade, export controls, economic sanctions and cyber investigations; litigation and trials; and global compliance and engagement with government authorities.
