The lifetime achievement award is a fitting tribute to the illustrious career of Roger Witten. Roger has achieved national and international recognition time and again in multiple fields, ranging from major domestic and international litigation, to complex internal investigations and law enforcement matters, including pioneering work relating to the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, to election and campaign finance law.

Roger has repeatedly achieved these successes with quiet humility, by letting his work speak for itself. It is therefore opportune that the New York Law Journal now recognizes that lifetime of work. He has contributed in myriad ways to the advancement of the law, public service, pro bono, and his colleagues and co-workers.
