Richard “Dick” Gregorie—best known for his prosecutions of Panamanian General Manuel Noriega and high-ranking members of the Medellin drug cartel—has joined consulting firm Berkeley Research Group (BRG) as managing director of its global investigations practice in Miami.
Last year, Gregorie announced his retirement from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami, capping off a more than 40-year career in the U.S. Department of Justice.

“It's not every day that you can add someone with Dick's experience and pedigree—and he knows more about criminal law than anyone I've ever met,” said Frank Holder, leader of BRG's global investigations and strategic intelligence practice, in a statement. “Dick has worked on some of the biggest cases in recent memory, involving heads of foreign governments and international drug traffickers.:
Gregorie joined the U.S. Attorney's Office in Miami in the 1980s in the midst of the government's war on Drugs. While at the office, he worked in a variety of positions including chief of the narcotics division, senior litigation counsel, chief assistant U.S. attorney and chief of the office's criminal division.
Gregorie received three Attorney General's Distinguished Service awards and has trained young prosecutors at the DOJ's National Advocacy Center. He also contributed chapters to the 2011 and 2016 editions of the department's Federal Narcotics Prosecution Manual.
“BRG is regularly involved in high-profile investigations and business intelligence engagements, generating praise as a forward-thinking firm that provides strong expertise and perspectives to clients,” Gregorie said in a statement. “My more than four decades at the Department of Justice will dovetail nicely with BRG's existing work, particularly in matters related to money laundering and the False Claims Act, and I'm excited to provide strategic counsel and serve as a spokesman for BRG.”
BRG is a consulting firm headquartered in California with offices around the world. The firm advises on a variety of topics from class action litigation to investment banking.
