Airbnb Inc. has tapped the former head of the white-collar crime unit in San Francisco’s U.S. Attorney’s Office to represent the homestay marketplace leader in an $11 million dispute with a Florida developer.

Covington & Burling’s W. Douglas Sprague signed Airbnb’s complaint against Harvey Hernandez and the Miami-based real estate developer’s company, NGD Homesharing, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California Thursday. Sprague, the former chief of the economic crimes and securities fraud section of the regional federal prosecutors’ office, was joined on the complaint by Covington colleagues Ethan Forrest and Annie Shi and David Buckner of Buckner + Miles in Miami, who served as an assistant U.S. attorney for eight years.
