White Collar Defense & Investigations

Overview

Our white collar defense and investigations team includes numerous former federal prosecutors and former SEC attorneys. We have a proven track record of successfully resolving high-stakes investigations and enforcement actions by the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and many other federal and state agencies. Our attorneys regularly defend clients against investigations and enforcement actions regarding health care fraud, financial and procurement fraud, SEC violations, antitrust violations, environmental crimes, the Foreign Corrupt Practice Act (FCPA), tax fraud, public corruption and the False Claims Act/qui tam. We have decades of experience conducting internal corporate investigations into allegations of misconduct, advising on corporate governance and developing compliance programs.
