Sills Cummis Snags Economic Crimes Unit Chief from NJ US Atty’s Office

As seen in this article, “Sills Cummis & Gross is continuing its white-collar practice growth spree, this time adding on the New Jersey U.S. Attorney Office’s former economic crimes unit chief Jonathan Fayer.

“Fayer, who left the U.S. Attorney’s Office at the end of October, will be joining his government colleague Vikas Khanna, a former acting U.S. attorney for New Jersey who joined Sills Cummis’ white-collar practice in July.

“‘I had sort of done everything I set out to do at the U.S. Attorney’s Office—I prosecuted a lot of cases, I was a supervisor, and I was ready for the next challenge,’ Fayer said in an interview. ‘I worked really closely with Vikas at the U.S. Attorney’s Office. He’s one of the finest lawyers I’ve ever worked with … when he left to join Sills Cummis & Gross, the opportunity to come with him and build out the white-collar practice wasn’t something I could pass up.’”

The interview ended with a quote from Fayer, “I know how much of a regional powerhouse Sills Cummis is and I’m looking forward to working with Vikas and the firm.”
