We have represented national and local corporations and individuals in a variety of criminal grand jury investigations and criminal trials involving fraud, securities, antitrust, environmental, health care, food and drug laws, federal and state procurement, public corruption, money laundering, tax, international trade and other financial crimes. Our criminal defense and investigations practice is widely recognized not only for litigating and winning high-profile criminal cases, but also for devising creative legal strategies which resolve them long before they draw any media attention. Many of our representations have involved advocacy before the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Federal Reserve Board, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Food and Drug Administration, the Internal Revenue Service, and other regulatory agencies. Many of our matters involve concurrent investigations by authorities in the United States and other authorities outside the United States. Our criminal defense team includes former federal and state prosecutors, and leading practitioners in banking and securities regulation. We also have extensive experience conducting internal investigations, designing corporate compliance programs, and training corporate executives to follow them.
