White Collar Defense & Investigations

Practice

Corporations and individuals around the world seek our advice and representation on critical investigation and enforcement matters.

Summary

Clients choose our preeminent white collar practice for representation in high-profile and complex defense matters, including government and internal investigations. These include criminal and regulatory investigations and enforcement proceedings by the DOJ, SEC, CFTC, Federal Reserve, FinCen, OCC, CFPB, New York State DFS, state attorneys general and district attorneys, the Securities and Futures Commission of Hong Kong, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority and the U.K. Serious Fraud Office.

Our clients benefit from the prior government experience of our litigators, many of whom served as federal prosecutors and senior officials at the DOJ, SEC, White House and the Office of Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

Many of our clients’ most successful matters have resulted in no charges being filed, and therefore remain confidential. Our work has been recognized by publications including Chambers USA, Global Investigations Review, Chambers Greater China Region and Legal 500 Latin America.
