Gary T. Fishman, a veteran assistant district attorney in Manhattan, has joined Investigative Group International, the Washington-based private investigation and corporate intelligence firm, as managing director, IGI Chairman Terry F. Lenzner has announced.
Fishman served for 15 years under District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau and his successor, Cyrus R. Vance Jr. He was most recently principal deputy chief of the Major Economic Crimes Bureau. “Gary’s experience and expertise as a lawyer and investigator have positioned him well to manage the complex fact and financial investigations for which IGI is known,” Lenzner said in a statement issued by IGI.
As a member of IGI’s senior management team with Lenzner and IGI President Tom Wendel, Fishman will supervise IGI’s major investigations, the firm said. Fishman is also a partner in the firm Lenzner and Fishman P.C.
Lenzner, who founded IGI in 1984, was an attorney in the Department of Justice Civil Rights Division in the 1960’s. He later joined the Organized Crime Division of the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Southern District of New York. He was assistant chief counsel to the Senate Watergate Committee that investigated the 1972 burglary at the Watergate Office Building and subsequent cover-up, a scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard M. Nixon in 1974.
