Foreign Investment Watch named Crowell & Moring partner Caroline E. Brown to its list of Top Advisors 2024. The list recognizes the “top advisors who provide advice and counsel concerning foreign investment and national security in the U.S. and abroad.”
Brown is a member of the firm’s White Collar and Regulatory Enforcement, International Trade, and Financial Services groups, as well as the steering committee of the firm’s National Security Practice. Following a decade of service at the U.S. Departments of Justice and the Treasury and the White House, working to disrupt threat actors and guard the nation’s financial system against illicit use, she now advises corporations, senior executives, and boards of directors on national security and trade matters. Brown helps clients navigate anti-money laundering and economic sanctions compliance and enforcement challenges, as well as cross border government investigations and transactions, including national security reviews by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). Drawing on her DOJ experience coupled with her regulatory expertise, she handles high profile enforcement actions and representations before DOJ, CFIUS, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), and the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN).
While at the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Security Division, she worked on counterespionage, cybersecurity, and counterterrorism matters and investigations, and gained unique insight into issues surrounding data privacy and cybersecurity. In that role, she also sat on both CFIUS and Team Telecom and made recommendations to DOJ senior leadership regarding whether to mitigate, block, or allow transactions under review by those interagency committees. She also negotiated, drafted, and reviewed mitigation agreements, monitored companies’ compliance with those agreements, and coordinated and supervised investigations of breaches of those agreements.
