THOUGHT LEADERSHIP
NEW YORK, October 26, 2012 — Andrew C. Hruska, a partner at King & Spalding, has been appointed to a new white-collar crime task force formed by New York district attorneys, who say state anti-fraud and anti-corruption laws need to be reformed.

“New York is the financial capital of the country and we have a responsibility to make sure that state prosecutors in New York have the tools they need to combat white-collar crime in the 21st Century,” said Cyrus R. Vance, Jr., president of the District Attorneys Association of the State of New York and Manhattan District Attorney.

The 25-member task force consists of district attorneys, assistant district attorneys, private practitioners and academics. It will recommend legislative and executive changes to modernize enforcement of the laws and make them more effective.

Hruska is a litigation partner in King & Spalding’s New York office and a member of the firm’s special matters and government investigations practice. He focuses on criminal and regulatory litigation and investigations, complex civil and bankruptcy litigation and internal investigations. He was formerly the chief assistant U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, senior counsel to U.S. deputy attorney general and an assistant district attorney in the fraud bureau of the office of the Manhattan district attorney.
