Government Investigations & White Collar Defense

To assure the best possible outcome, businesses, executives, and other individuals who receive requests for information from federal or state investigative agencies need immediate counsel from attorneys experienced in handling government investigations. This is especially critical in the current environment because governmental regulations are increasingly enforced through criminal prosecution rather than mere civil fines.

The lawyers on our team have extensive counseling, investigating, and litigating experience in all forms of government inquiry. Our representation is national in scope and includes managing matters from the investigation stage through the grand jury process, trial and, if necessary, appeal and collateral proceedings.

We provide comprehensive services to individuals and organizations that receive administrative or other subpoenas, or any other requests for information from federal or state investigative agencies. We:

  • Conduct internal investigations on behalf of corporate clients and prepare investigative reports.
  • Establish compliance programs to help avoid government actions in the first place.
  • Formulate strategies and respond to informal requests for information, document subpoenas, and search warrants.
  • Represent clients who are targets, subjects, or witnesses in governmental proceedings in criminal trials and other criminal proceedings to ensure that their legal rights and interests are defended at all times.
