Prosecution and Litigation

Cross-Disciplinary Representation in Complex Legal Matters

Our Prosecution and Litigation group represents corporations, executives, and public entities in criminal investigations, regulatory enforcement, and civil litigation.
We routinely appear before federal and state courts, arbitration panels, and administrative tribunals.
Our lawyers collaborate across practice areas—including white-collar defense, regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, intellectual property, and international trade—to deliver holistic solutions.

This multidisciplinary structure enables us to manage matters that cross legal boundaries, from securities enforcement to cross-border commercial disputes.
