Henry P. Van Dyck

DOJ Experience

Henry previously served as the principal assistant chief of the Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit within the Fraud Section at DOJ, where he oversaw many of DOJ’s most significant corporate criminal prosecutions and cross-border investigations, and supervised a team of approximately 40 dedicated financial crimes prosecutors. During his 11 years at DOJ, Henry led dozens of complex corporate investigations and prosecutions resulting in the convictions of executives at publicly traded and financial services companies, and tried numerous high-profile white collar cases to verdict in districts across the country. 

Recognition

Henry has been recognized as a leader in the white-collar and government enforcement defense practice areas, most recently in Chambers USA, where clients described him as a “great strategic thinker” and “an excellent trial lawyer.”

During his government service, Henry received the FBI’s highest honor — the Director’s Award — for his work prosecuting a $200 million securities fraud case, and received the Assistant Attorney General’s Award on two occasions, for his work prosecuting other major corporate fraud cases.

Prior Experience

Previously, Henry worked in the Washington, D.C., office of an international law firm, and clerked for the Hon. Thomas J. Meskill of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and for the Hon. Hayden W. Head of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas.
