AXS LAW Group Welcomes Former DOJ Leaders to Enhance National Footprint

On March 23, 2026, AXS LAW Group, a prominent litigation firm known for its dynamic approach, announced a significant expansion in its national presence. The firm has appointed Kyle C. Hankey and Anna G. Kaminska, experienced former prosecutors from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), as partners in its new Washington, D.C. office. This strategic move aims to bolster AXS's renowned business trial practices while addressing the growing demand for corporate legal services nationwide.

The New Faces of AXS LAW

Kyle C. Hankey, who previously served as Assistant Chief in the DOJ's Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit, is celebrated for his role in high-profile corporate fraud cases. His experience includes prosecuting a major U.S. Navy shipbuilder over accounting fraud and orchestrating a deferred prosecution agreement worth nine figures with a Fortune 500 defense contractor for issues related to military contracts. His courtroom prowess has made him a standout figure in the complex landscape of corporate litigation.

Anna G. Kaminska brings over 20 years of experience as a trial lawyer, federal prosecutor, and appellate attorney to the table. Prior to joining AXS, Anna served as Chief of the same Market Integrity and Major Frauds Unit at the DOJ where she left her mark on numerous high-stakes cases involving complicated accounting fraud and foreign bribery. Her history of managing investigations that led to corporate penalties exceeding $2.5 billion showcases her skill set and dedication to justice.

A Commitment to Excellence

The addition of Hankey and Kaminska is a significant milestone for AXS LAW Group as it strives to set new benchmarks in legal practice. Jeff Gutchess, the founding partner of AXS, emphasizes the caliber of trial lawyers in their repertoire, stating, "Kyle and Anna are exactly the kind of practitioners who exemplify AXS LAW. Their extensive courtroom experience, combined with their track record in corporate fraud cases, will provide tremendous value to our clients and facilitate the firm's expansion in Washington, D.C."

The new office is strategically located in Georgetown and signifies AXS LAW Group's commitment to enhancing its white-collar, investigations, corporate enforcement, and appellate practices. Additionally, the firm plans to onboard more partners, associates, and paralegals shortly, increasing its ability to serve clients effectively.
