White Collar Crimes & Investigations

Our lawyers respond rapidly to government inquiries, subpoenas, and search warrants. We coordinate internal investigations to identify exposure and implement strategies to control the narrative before it escalates. Our White Collar Crimes & Investigations team works closely with in-house counsel to preserve evidence, ensure compliance with privilege laws, and communicate effectively with regulators.

Corporate investigations often trigger simultaneous civil, criminal, and regulatory actions. Our firm is adept at managing these parallel proceedings efficiently to avoid conflicting outcomes. We provide coordinated defense strategies that minimize risk, protect corporate assets, and maintain consistent messaging across jurisdictions.

We guide clients through every stage of government inquiries, from initial information requests to grand jury subpoenas and trial defense. Our team helps companies cooperate where appropriate while safeguarding against overreach or premature admissions. We also engage proactively with regulators to resolve investigations before formal charges are filed, reducing exposure and public scrutiny.

White collar cases frequently involve multiple enforcement bodies and jurisdictions. Our White Collar Crimes & Investigations lawyers coordinate multi-agency defense strategies and manage data transfers under international privacy laws. We are skilled in working with overseas regulators, ensuring that global compliance requirements are met while protecting client confidentiality and due process rights.

Our team designs and executes investigations that are discreet, independent, and defensible. We work with boards, audit committees, and compliance officers to assess allegations of misconduct, such as financial fraud, insider trading, or violations of anti-bribery laws. Our lawyers analyze findings, recommend corrective measures, and guide companies in voluntary self-disclosures where beneficial.

Prevention is the best defense. We assist clients in building compliance frameworks that align with DOJ and SEC guidelines, integrating policies, employee training, and monitoring systems. Our White Collar Crimes & Investigations lawyers tailor programs to industry-specific risks, ensuring that companies meet global standards such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act, and other anti-fraud and anti-money laundering regulations.

Our firm defends clients accused of insider trading, accounting irregularities, or misrepresentation in financial disclosures. We represent corporations and individuals in SEC enforcement actions, parallel DOJ prosecutions, and class action securities litigation. Our lawyers also help clients navigate regulatory examinations, restatements, and internal audit reviews.

We advise global companies on compliance with anti-bribery and sanctions laws. Our team assists with FCPA and UK Bribery Act investigations, cross-border due diligence, and risk assessments. We also help companies resolve matters involving the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), ensuring adherence to global trade and sanctions frameworks while maintaining lawful business operations.

We strive to resolve disputes through negotiation whenever possible, engaging prosecutors early to achieve dismissals or deferred prosecution agreements. Our approach emphasizes strategic transparency, cooperation, and credibility. We work to minimize penalties and avoid collateral consequences such as debarment or reputational loss.

In cases that proceed to trial, our litigators deliver focused and persuasive advocacy based on meticulous preparation. We analyze complex financial data, cross-examine expert witnesses, and present cohesive narratives that clarify intricate corporate matters for the court. Following trial, we handle appeals, compliance remediation, and settlement implementation to ensure clients’ long-term recovery and compliance readiness.
