Vinson & Elkins Listed in 2025 Global Investigations Review 100

Awards & Rankings

November 19, 2025 • 1-minute read

Vinson & Elkins is listed in the 2025 Global Investigations Review (GIR) 100, an independent guide to the world’s best firms for international investigations.

The firm has been listed every year since publication of the inaugural guide in 2015.

In its analysis of Vinson & Elkins, GIR individually recognized Mike Dry, James McGovern, Zachary Terwilliger, and Fry Wernick. According to the publication, firms included in the GIR 100 are selected through a combination of detailed submissions, client feedback and independent analysis.

“This blend of government experience and trial expertise positions the practice to manage high-stakes mandates across multiple jurisdictions. The firm has advised on politically charged investigations, including congressional inquiries and asset forfeiture disputes with international dimensions, and has acted on headline matters in sectors ranging from technology to financial services. Its long-running representation of MoneyGram across successive enforcement actions exemplifies the practice’s staying power, while mandates such as Oracle’s SEC settlement over alleged FCPA violations and Juniper Networks’ audit committee inquiry into foreign bribery allegations highlight its ability to coordinate sensitive, cross-border investigations.”

The research team evaluates practices based on factors such as the significance and complexity of recent work, team composition, jurisdictional importance and market reputation.
