SAN FRANCISCO — Joseph Fazioli, a 12-year veteran of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of California, joined Dechert this week as a litigation partner in the firm’s Mountain View office.

Fazioli, who won a string of convictions at trial in white-collar investment fraud cases as a prosecutor over the past few years, plans to focus on commercial civil litigation, white-collar defense work, and internal investigations at the firm.
