Dykema, a leading national law firm, today announced the addition of Jennifer L.

Beidel, who is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, joins Dykema after practicing at Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP in Philadelphia, where she served as Co-Chair of its White Collar and Government Enforcement practice.

She draws on her extensive trial and investigative experience—in both the private and public sectors—to assist clients facing criminal and civil allegations of fraud and other misconduct in the health care, life sciences, food and agriculture, and financial services industries, among others.

“We’re thrilled to have Jen join our team. She’s a highly respected and sought after white collar defense attorney who’s successfully handled fraud, health care, and financial crimes matters for corporations and individuals at the local, state, national, and international levels,” said Mark Chutkow, Leader of Dykema’s Government Investigations and Corporate Compliance Team. “Clients, courts, and opposing parties will immediately recognize the thoughtfulness and strong advocacy skills Jen brings to difficult and high-profile matters.”
