Corporations, executives and professionals are increasingly the target of aggressive criminal prosecution and regulatory enforcement. For them, the firm offers the services and expertise of its white-collar criminal defense and internal corporate investigations practice group.

Our work includes the representation of clients in the United States and abroad involved in government investigations, civil enforcement matters, and parallel litigation in criminal, civil and administrative proceedings. We have represented, during investigation and post-indictment, public and privately held corporations, business executives, accountants, lawyers, judges, bankers, physicians, securities brokers and others who are targets or subjects of criminal investigation or prosecution. Our practice includes representing clients in investigations by such government agencies as the Department of Justice, various State Attorneys General, the SEC, the IRS and Congress.

Our work also includes discreetly conducting internal corporate investigations either incident to or to preempt a government criminal or civil prosecution. We have investigated sensitive matters in diverse areas, including antitrust, environmental issues, health care, insurance and accounting. The experience of our attorneys allows for consultation and advice on corrective actions, compliance plans and the advisability of voluntary disclosure.

The practice group draws on years of front-line prosecutorial and criminal defense experience of firm lawyers, including the former United States Attorney for the Southern District of Florida (2002-2005) who, in that capacity, led one of the busiest US Attorney’s Offices in the nation and worked closely with both the highest levels of the Department of Justice and the US Attorneys in other major metropolitan areas.
