Greg Brower Named Co-Chair of Brownstein’s Government Investigations & White Collar Defense Group

Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck is pleased to announce that it has named Greg Brower co-chair of the firm’s Government Investigations & White Collar Defense practice group. He joins Jason Dunn in leading this practice group focused on representing corporations and individuals across the country in complex criminal and internal investigations, state attorneys generals actions, inspector general and congressional matters as well as related civil and regulatory, including SEC, CFPB and FTC proceedings. 

Based in the firm’s Nevada and Washington, D.C., offices, Brower uses his more than 30 years of experience both as a first-chair litigator and senior government official to represent clients in federal and state investigations and regulatory matters, high-stakes litigation and crisis management. He most recently served as chief global compliance officer at Wynn Resorts. 

Prior to joining Brownstein and Wynn, Brower served as a senior FBI executive, spanning two administrations, where he worked closely with high-ranking officials in the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. intelligence community and with key leaders on Capitol Hill. As head of the FBI’s Office of Congressional Affairs, Brower served as chief liaison to Congress on critical oversight and investigations issues, including the 2018 reauthorization of FISA 702 authority for which he received a National Intelligence Meritorious Unit citation from the director of national intelligence. Previously, as the FBI’s deputy general counsel, he led and managed more than 100 attorneys and staff responsible for a diverse portfolio of legal matters, including litigation, privacy, procurement, compliance and ethics. 

Beyond his recent service at the FBI, Brower has a long history of distinguished public service. At the federal level, he has also served as the U.S. attorney for the District of Nevada, and as both general counsel and inspector general at the U.S. Government Publishing Office. At the state level, he served as an elected member during five regular sessions of the Nevada Legislature, where he was chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. He has also served on the Nevada Gaming Policy Committee. 

Dunn serves as co-chair of the Government Investigations & White Collar Defense and State Attorneys General practice groups and is based in the firm’s Denver office. Prior to returning to Brownstein, he served as the presidentially appointed and unanimously confirmed U.S. attorney for the District of Colorado, where he oversaw the prosecution of all federal crimes and the litigation of nearly all civil matters involving the United States government in Colorado. Dunn and his team fought cybercriminals and brought numerous actions under the False Claims Act (FCA), the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and other civil and criminal statutes. From 2005‒2008, Dunn served as Colorado deputy attorney general.
