Akerman has added two former federal prosecutors from Hinshaw & Culbertson and a dealmaker from Seyfarth Shaw, as the firm continues to expand its Chicago presence since its arrival in the city four years ago.

Sergio Acosta, once the general crimes section chief at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Chicago, now co-chairs the firm’s white-collar and government investigations practice, while former Illinois Solicitor General Joel Bertocchi—also a veteran of the Chicago U.S. Attorney’s Office—has joined as a litigation partner. Transactional expert Robert Winner is now part of the firm’s national corporate practice.
