Tom Hanusik is a partner in Washington D.C. and a member of Crowell & Moring's White Collar & Regulatory Enforcement Group, which Law360 named a "White Collar Group of the Year" in 2012 and one of ten "FCPA Powerhouses" in 2013. Tom is also chair of Crowell & Moring's Investigations practice.

Tom's practice focuses on white collar defense, SEC Enforcement, FINRA Enforcement and internal investigations. He defends publicly traded and privately held companies, senior executives, board members and politicians during internal and government investigations, criminal and civil trials, regulatory enforcement actions, and appeals. Tom has over twenty years of trial and appellate experience. He also leads teams conducting internal investigations on behalf of companies, boards of directors and board committees, as well as advising corporate clients on remedial measures, compliance programs and training. Tom's recent engagements include representing institutions and executives in matters involving alleged violations of federal securities laws including financial fraud, insider trading, FCPA and Section 5 violations, AML requirements, federal and state tax offenses, public corruption and violations of U.S. export controls and sanctions regulations.

InsideCounsel's "Crisis Rolodex" magazine named Tom one of the "The Best Lawyers to Call in a Worst-Case Scenario" for a white collar investigation in its "Crisis Rolodex" in 2007. In 2013 and 2017, Tom was named to SecuritiesDocket's "Enforcement 40" list of the best and brightest SEC Enforcement attorneys in the industry. Tom is also Chambers ranked in white collar & government investigations where comments about him note, "He is very highly regarded for his extensive knowledge of all white collar matters," for being "very much attuned to which arguments will work," and for always "genuinely having his client's best interests at heart." Tom has also been consistently recognized in The Best Lawyers in America since 2008 in the areas of white collar criminal defense and securities regulation.

While at DOJ, Tom was one of the original prosecutors on the Enron Task Force, where he successfully prosecuted a number of senior Enron executives and external advisers. He was then promoted to assistant chief in the Criminal Division, Fraud Section, where he also served as senior counsel for Securities Fraud. Prior to joining DOJ, Tom was senior counsel in the SEC's Division of Enforcement, where he successfully prosecuted a series of insider trading and financial fraud cases.

Throughout his career at both the DOJ and SEC, Tom led, supervised, and coordinated a number of parallel criminal grand jury and civil law enforcement investigations. In addition to the Enron Task Force, Tom was a member of the inter-agency Securities and Commodities Fraud Working Group at DOJ and he was active in DOJ's corporate fraud initiative. Tom has also participated in the negotiation of corporate-level dispositions on behalf of the government, including civil injunctive actions and cease-and-desist proceedings, and criminal deferred-prosecution and non-prosecution agreements.

Just prior to joining Crowell & Moring, Tom led DOJ's prosecution team investigating the abuse of finite reinsurance products in the insurance industry. He also has extensive experience prosecuting criminal and civil cases involving conspiracy, bank fraud, insider trading, money laundering, counterfeiting, identity theft, social security fraud and education loan fraud.
