Former DLA Piper partner George Karavetsos has joined the Miami office of Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, working on the firm’s Food and Drug Administration, white-collar, compliance and investigation practices. Prior to joining DLA Piper in 2017, Karavetsos did multiple stints at the FDA, eventually directing its Office of Criminal Investigations — and more than 300 federal agents — between 2015 and 2017.

In an interview, Karavetsos said the Biden administration is likely to increase compliance efforts after four years of lax enforcement.
