Lily Becker

When a crisis arises, Lily brings her multifaceted legal and political experience to develop a business-centric response and defense plan. Boards and companies turn to Lily for strategic advice and zealous representation when sensitive criminal, cybersecurity, or regulatory problems emerge. She has helped companies navigate complex crises with civil, criminal, and reputational considerations. She regularly handles allegations involving bribery, embezzlement, fraud, corporate governance, and the securities laws, as well as issues associated with cybersecurity incidents and internet safety. For blockchain and cryptocurrency clients, she advises regarding the evolving regulatory and enforcement landscape.

With an increasing government focus on independent monitorships, companies benefit from her deep experience in government-imposed and voluntary monitorships. She served on the Monitor Team for three SEC and DOJ FCPA Monitorships/Consultancies. She has also advised companies responding to Monitorships – both a DOJ and SEC Monitorship and a proactive, voluntary Monitorship to test critical controls.

These varied engagements give her insight into the internal and public ramifications of a crisis, which she brings to her proactive advice. She assists clients with compliance programs at all stages. Her thorough understanding of data and financial controls systems helps companies operationalize controls that work.

Before joining Orrick, Lily worked on multiple political campaigns, including acting as spokesperson in connection with a U.S. Senate campaign.
