Kroll Adds Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Cramer in Chicago Office

Global risk consulting firm Kroll has added Jeffrey H. Cramer, formerly assistant United States attorney and senior litigation counsel in the Northern District of Illinois Eastern Division, in its Business Intelligence and Investigations practice as a managing director and head of the practice’s Chicago office.

Cramer will supervise a wide variety of assignments throughout the Midwest and Texas including corporate investigations, fraud and detection, due diligence and regulatory issues.

Cramer comes to Kroll following nine years in the U.S. Attorney’s office, where he most recently served as senior litigation counsel. In this capacity, Cramer was responsible for trial strategy and jury arguments in all criminal trials. He investigated a broad range of cases including corporate fraud, organized crime, money laundering, RICO, foreign terrorist organizations, public corruption, securities fraud, and regulatory and export violations. Most notably, he was a member of the trial team that prosecuted fraudulent activity at Hollinger International leading to the conviction of Conrad Black, other top executives and a foreign corporation.

Cramer began his career as an assistant district attorney in New York City. In this role, he prosecuted federal and state trials, leading complex investigations into violent and white collar crimes including homicides, public corruption, fraud and money laundering. After his tenure in New York, Cramer worked for three years at a major international law firm where he gained experience in litigation and real estate.
