Josh Roselman is a Special Counsel in the firm's White Collar Defense and Investigations Practice Group, advising clients across a range of industries facing large-scale, cross-border government investigations and sensitive internal investigations.
Josh rejoined Covington after completing his service as an investigative counsel for the U.S. House Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. During his term on the Select Committee, Josh was part of the legal team investigating efforts to interfere with the result of the 2020 presidential election and the peaceful transfer of power, as well as the response within the White House as the attack on the Capitol was underway (the Select Committee’s “Gold Team”).
As part of that work, Josh led and assisted dozens of depositions of senior White House and other federal officials, campaign operatives, and members of the First Family. From that investigative work, Josh contributed to the development of the Select Committee’s nationally televised public hearings, including three as staff lead. Josh’s work also supported several of the Select Committee’s landmark litigation matters, including Eastman v. Thompson, obtaining the first-ever crime-fraud ruling against a former President of the United States. Josh also contributed to The January 6th Report, the final report detailing the Select Committee’s investigative findings.
Josh’s practice now focuses on white-collar criminal matters, internal corporate investigations, and compliance counseling. He regularly represents clients in connection with investigations into alleged fraud, corruption, and other criminal conduct, as well as non-criminal matters involving significant reputational risk. Josh has experience representing major companies in multi-jurisdictional civil and criminal investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice, Securities and Exchange Commission, and other federal and state enforcement agencies.
