Bloomberg Law named Partner Robert Boone among the top five white collar lawyers to know in the latest installment of the publication’s “They’ve Got Next” series. The series highlights young lawyers who have already made their mark on the legal sector before the age of 40.
In his profile Boone, who joined WilmerHale in October, recalled his involvement in “one of the most sweeping and consequential federal probes into college sports corruption.” As an up-and-coming assistant US attorney, Boone played a pivotal role in the case that ultimately led to the conviction of 10 individuals —two of whom were found guilty by jury during trials that Boone co-led. Now, as a member of WilmerHale’s Litigation and Controversy Department, Boone draws upon nearly 10 years of government experience, especially in cases in the news headlines, to assist clients facing high-stakes investigations and prosecutions.
