SALT LAKE CITY–(BUSINESS WIRE)–International law firm Dorsey & Whitney LLP announced today that David

Mr. Barlow’s practice will focus on government and internal corporate

represented the United States in criminal prosecutions and civil
litigation. During his tenure, the office conducted thousands of

Service, DEA, ATF and many other federal, state and local law
enforcement agencies. He personally participated in investigations,
Grand Jury indictments, plea negotiations and criminal trials during his
service as U.S. Attorney. He also served on the DOJ’s national White
Collar Crime Subcommittee and Healthcare Fraud Working Group and chaired
the Local Government Coordination Working Group. Mr. Barlow also was
asked to serve on the Attorney General’s Advisory Committee, the
leadership team of U.S. Attorneys across the country, where he
