Robert M. CaryPartner

Rob Cary is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and Co-Chair of the firm’s Legal Malpractice and Ethics practice group. He focuses his civil practice on representing law firms, having represented over a dozen law firms and successfully trying a multi-month legal malpractice trial. In addition to representing law firms, Rob’s civil litigation experience includes a trial against the Federal Trade Commission and a number of State Attorneys Generals, as well as cases ranging from real estate to securities to contracts to products liability to allegations of civil fraud. He also serves as an adjunct professor of law at Vanderbilt Law School and Georgetown University Law Center.

Rob is well known for his representation of the late U.S. Senator Ted Stevens, who was indicted on ethics charges less than 100 days before he was to stand for re-election. Senator Stevens was exonerated when it was revealed that the prosecution had hidden evidence from the defense that contradicted the prosecution's principal theory. The American Lawyer described Williams & Connolly’s work on the case as “one of the best criminal defense performances in memory, resulting in a heightened scrutiny of prosecutors that will affect the Justice Department for years to come.”

With client permission Rob has written a book about the Stevens case. Bob Woodward of The Washington Post describes the book Not Guilty: The Unlawful Prosecution of U.S. Senator Ted Stevens as a “public service…a shocking, deeply sobering tale that every American worried about the concentration of power in the federal government should read and study.” Barry Scheck, co-director of the Innocence Project, describes it as a “riveting account from one of our country’s great lawyers.” Retired federal judge Nancy Gertner describes it as “an extraordinarily important book, a must read not only for lawyers, but federal judges.”

Rob, together with his colleagues Craig Singer and Simon Latcovich, has also authored Federal Criminal Discovery, the first book devoted entirely to the topic of discovery in federal criminal cases. The American Bar Association describes the book as an “invaluable resource for judges, academics, prosecutors, and defense lawyers.”

Rob has also been involved in a number of high-stakes appeals, and represented clients in connection with criminal and civil investigations conducted by various government agencies, including the Food and Drug Administration, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and federal and state prosecutors.

Biography

Professional background Scott is a principal at Ernst & Young LLP, where he leads the Forensic Technology and Discovery

Services (FTDS) practice in Houston, Texas. Scott also leads the FTDS Energy Sector team, which

is composed of more than 15 individuals focused on delivering services to clients in the oil and

gas, utilities and chemicals industries. Scott primarily works in electronic discovery, data analytics

and computer forensics.

Scott’s end-to-end understanding of the electronic discovery lifecycle has positioned him to lead

complex global matters for Fortune 500 companies and their counsel. These large projects

focused on helping legal departments, internal audit and compliance functions, and law firms

respond to internal investigations, compliance assessments and pending legal matters with the

Securities and Exchange Commission, Department of Justice, Federal Energy Regulatory

Commission, public utilities commissions, Internal Revenue Service and private litigants.

Scott recently completed an internal compliance assessment for a global energy client that

included data preservation and collection in 26 locations throughout 12 countries. The collected

data was hosted in two EY global data centers to accommodate data privacy regulations in certain

jurisdictions. Scott’s team supported eight independent review teams with more than 200 active

reviewers. Scott’s team streamlined the reviews by leveraging various analytics, including social

network and behavioral analytics, data modeling and data categorization, which helped decrease

the volume of information for review and reduce overall costs.

In Chambers USA – America's Leading Business Lawyers 2013 guide, Mr. Shepherd was described as "first and foremost he has great judgment and a far greater sense of the bigger picture. He is not drawn in to unnecessary conflicts or fights if they do not serve the client." The 2015 guide includes “Bill Shepherd is a very strong lawyer, say market sources. He focuses on False Claims Act cases, internal investigations andcriminal proceedings.”

Mr. Shepherd was elected to serve as chair of the 20,000 member Criminal Justice Section of the American Bar Association and served as a member of its Global Anti-Corruption Task Force and as division director of its White Collar Crime Division.

Compliance Training

Realizing that most corporate actors understand that good ethics and compliance make for good business, Mr. Shepherd regularly meets with clients to update their existing compliance programs and to train global sales staff to assure that problems are avoided before they are created.
