Cozen O’Connor Hires Kurt Konrad Lunkenheimer, Expanding its White Collar Practice to South Florida
Cozen O’Connor announced Kurt Konrad Lunkenheimer, a trial lawyer turned federal prosecutor in Miami, has joined its White Collar Defense & Investigations group. The firm’s first White Collar Defense & Investigations lawyer to be based in Florida, Lunkenheimer joins Cozen O’Connor as a member and will work out of the Miami, Fla. office.
A prosecutor with the U.S. Attorney’s Office (USAO) in the Southern District of Florida since 2010, Lunkenheimer has successfully managed and prosecuted a wide range of high-profile national and international cases, most involving large-scale drug trafficking, white-collar fraud, and money laundering. Prior to that, he was a member of a national law firm’s white-collar litigation team, defending corporate clients facing misbranding allegations, finance fraud, procurement fraud, and environmental crimes.
“White collar defense is all about delivering results when the stakes are high. As a former prosecutor, Kurt knows how government investigations unfold and how the cases are built,” said Barry Boss, co-chair of the White Collar Defense & Investigations group. “He’s ideally suited to guide clients, whether as target, subject, or witness, through every phase of the criminal justice process — from high stakes government investigations to trial and appeal. He’s a great addition to our team and I’m happy to welcome him aboard.”
