Dykema, a leading national law firm, today announced the addition of Jennifer L. Beidel as a Member in its Government Investigations and Corporate Compliance Team resident in the firm’s Bloomfield Hills office. Beidel, who is a former Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York, joins Dykema after practicing at Saul Ewing Arnstein & Lehr LLP in Philadelphia, where she served as Co-Chair of its White Collar and Government Enforcement practice.
As an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Beidel worked as a member of the complex frauds and cybercrime unit. She led investigations and prosecutions in a variety of areas, including tax fraud, healthcare fraud, cybercrime, bank and wire fraud, securities fraud, consumer fraud, bribery, and money laundering.

In her law firm practice, Beidel represents organizations and individuals in white collar criminal defense cases, internal investigations, corporate compliance matters, and complex commercial disputes. She draws on her extensive trial and investigative experience—in both the private and public sectors—to assist clients facing criminal and civil allegations of fraud and other misconduct in the health care, life sciences, food and agriculture, and financial services industries, among others.
“We’re thrilled to have Jen join our team. She’s a highly respected and sought after white collar defense attorney who’s successfully handled fraud, health care, and financial crimes matters for corporations and individuals at the local, state, national, and international levels,” said Mark Chutkow, Leader of Dykema’s Government Investigations and Corporate Compliance Team. “Clients, courts, and opposing parties will immediately recognize the thoughtfulness and strong advocacy skills Jen brings to difficult and high-profile matters.”
