LOS ANGELES – February 25, 2026 – FROST LLP today announced that Yasmin Best, Daniel Freed, and Daniel Seltzer are joining the firm as partners in its new Silicon Valley office, where they will anchor FROST’s expanded White Collar, Investigations, and Compliance practice group. The team, former early-career colleagues in the same white collar group of a major law firm, draw on their combined experience in senior roles at the Department of Justice, major multinational corporations’ in-house legal departments, and BigLaw, for a practice unique in breadth of knowledge and understanding of in-house client expectations.

The practice is led by managing partner Kristopher (Kris) Rossfeld, who is based in Los Angeles and Orange County.
