Our White-Collar Defense Group advises and defends some of the world’s leading multinational corporations and, in many cases, their senior officers and directors in a broad range of regulatory and criminal matters. Our group includes six former federal prosecutors. Because white-collar criminal investigations so frequently involve parallel civil investigations conducted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), our white-collar team has significant experience with regulatory securities work, and we work closely with our partners who are former SEC attorneys, including two former Assistant Directors of the SEC’s Division of Enforcement and a former Senior Counsel of the SEC’s Office of General Counsel.

We have achieved great success in resolving matters quietly and professionally, without prosecution or litigation.  When investigations result in enforcement actions, indictments or civil lawsuits, we have an outstanding record of mounting successful defenses.  We are experienced trial lawyers who will not hesitate to take a case to trial when necessary or the best strategy.  We also have substantial experience in conducting internal investigations for companies and their boards, and in counseling companies on the development of compliance programs.  Our expertise in these areas has led government entities and private corporations alike to rely on and trust the results of our work.
