    Congressional Investigations

    Trusted guidance so you can approach oversight inquiry with confidence and purpose, and achieve a favorable resolution.

    Overview

    If you accessed funding through FFCRA, CARES Act, the Economic AID Act, or the American Rescue Plan, you may face an increased risk of a Congressional investigation. Further, if you face an oversight action you may need to navigate parallel proceedings—inquiries from multiple Congressional committees or federal agencies, DOJ or SEC enforcement actions, criminal proceedings, and follow-on litigation.

    Rely on our playbook of best practices and defense strategies to mitigate the consequences of these inquiries.

    Our team has decades of experience in federal oversight matters and has played key roles in numerous high-profile inquiries—a critical advantage if you are involved in a complex and unfamiliar process.

    We guide your engagement with Congressional investigators from the start, all the way through providing statements and testimony.
