Hadassa Waxman, the former co-chief of the general crimes unit at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York who is known for her role prosecuting the infamous “cannibal cop” case, has joined Proskauer Rose as a partner, the firm said Tuesday.

Waxman, who spent nine years at perhaps the most prominent federal prosecutor’s office in the United States, said she’s eager to get back to the courtroom as a member of Proskauer’s white-collar and securities litigation groups. She spent the last two years overseeing some 50 assistant U.S. attorneys in their first years on the job, advising them on building their cases and going to trial.
