White Collar Defense & Government Investigations
Experience & nimbleness for effective defense in times of crisis
If you are seeking to respond to a regulatory civil investigative demand, grand jury subpoena, or informal regulatory inquiry, our team can guide you through the process step by step.
We offer counsel on providing formal, on-the-record testimony to regulatory agencies and assist self-regulatory organizations. We also investigate alleged internal wrongdoing and defend against indictments at the federal and state levels.
We work with clients to manage internal investigations related to securities, products liability, healthcare, and pharmaceutical matters.
We respond to regulatory inquiries in an efficient manner and in a way that seeks to minimize possible civil and criminal exposure. We handle civil and criminal trials, which can quickly become bet-the-company litigation. We also identify and manage internal and external business and reputational risks that come with regulatory scrutiny.
Balanced perspectives from multidisciplinary team
Regulatory inquiries and civil and criminal investigations by federal and state authorities often involve company reputation issues and significant collateral proceedings. To provide multidisciplinary representation for our clients, our attorneys in this group work closely with our government advocacy and public policy, business litigation, FDA/life sciences regulatory, and other related practice groups.
Our lawyers are former federal prosecutors, regulators, congressional investigators, and compliance officers, and former in-house counsel for public companies. Our compliance and regulatory teams have experience across industries and are able to address general and client-specific regulatory issues. We also offer insights from our experience with internal investigations on behalf of companies and their boards.
Our clients span the range of public and private companies and business sectors.
Those include Fortune 500 companies, federal and state regulated companies, local, regional, and national financial institutions, and for-profit and not-for-profit healthcare institutions and vendors.
We understand the regulatory landscape and adapt to client needs.
We leverage experience in multiple disciplines to help clients navigate an ever-changing regulatory environment and listen and respond to client needs beyond a particular engagement.
Our White Collar Defense & Government Investigations Team helps you assess risks in connection with ongoing operations, business decisions, audits, acquisitions, and other internal matters involving regulatory and new service offerings and technology platforms.
We investigate allegations in a comprehensive, informed, and efficient manner. We respond to regulators or other government authorities formally or informally, through litigation or negotiation. We resolve government inquiries in an effective and discreet manner. We design procedures, policies, and practices that are consistent with the current regulatory and legal requirements with an understanding of the dynamic nature of these environments, and we help you stay compliant with domestic and international laws governing a multitude of substantive areas.
