Greenberg Traurig has hired Pinsent Masons partner and former Senior Fraud Office (SFO) prosecutor Anne-Marie Ottaway to its recently launched City white-collar, defence and special situations practice.

Ottaway joins Greenberg after six years as a partner at Pinsents, where she worked with the UK firm's former corporate crime head Barry Vitou, who moved to Greenberg earlier this year to launch the new practice for the US firm.
