White-Collar Criminal Practice, Internal Investigations & Government Enforcement Proceedings

 

Our lawyers have extensive experience defending businesses and individuals (including corporate officers and directors, lawyers, doctors and accountants) who are under investigation for, or charged with, violations of federal and state criminal laws. We have represented clients throughout the United States who have been targeted by federal and state grand jury investigations and prosecutions. We also have significant experience handling criminal and civil antitrust, fraud, public corruption, insider trading, money laundering, bribery, foreign corrupt practices, false claims, environmental, customs, securities and other cases, as well as RICO prosecutions. We have a strong team of lawyers, several with experience as federal and state prosecutors, who can navigate clients through the investigation, indictment, trial and, if necessary, appeal of a criminal conviction.

Our lawyers have conducted numerous internal investigations on behalf of corporate clients and committees or boards of directors. We help to develop and implement sound compliance programs designed to reduce risks associated with conduct that can lead to government scrutiny and to improve the odds of a favorable outcome in the event of such scrutiny.

We also have experience with civil enforcement agencies and their investigative processes. Our lawyers have represented clients in investigations and enforcement proceedings initiated by the Department of Justice, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Environmental Protection Agency, Internal Revenue Service, Food and Drug Administration, Department of Homeland Security, Securities and Exchange Commission, New York Stock Exchange, Office of Thrift Supervision, Federal Trade Commission, numerous states’ attorneys general and other agencies throughout the country.
