Matthew Podolsky joined Sidley as a partner in its white collar defense and investigations practice in New York, the firm announced Thursday.

Podolsky is a veteran federal prosecutor who spent more than a decade in the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, including a brief stretch as acting US attorney earlier this year. He tried high-profile fraud and corruption cases to verdict and briefed and argued more than a dozen appeals before the US Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, the firm said.
