Polsinelli has hired Brian Rafferty, who was the criminal division chief for the U.S Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Georgia, as a shareholder in its white-collar investigations practice. He joined Polsinelli’s Atlanta office on Monday.

After spending almost 11 years at the prosecutor’s office, which is in Savannah, Rafferty rejoins a former colleague, Brian McEvoy, now the managing partner of Polsinelli’s Atlanta office.
