С»ÆѼÊÓƵ helps clients assess risk and mitigate the disruption and expense that accompany high-stakes government investigations and litigation. Our team develops comprehensive compliance programs and conducts cost-efficient internal investigations in order to detect and prevent misconduct before it leads to government intervention.
When prosecution does occur, we work to secure the best possible outcome, either through settlement or vigorous trial defense. Several attorneys on our team are seasoned trial lawyers with experience in white collar defense; others are former federal and state prosecutors or federal agents. Our white collar attorneys understand from firsthand experience how law enforcement works and thinks, and we use that insight for the benefits of clients. We have experience in defending clients against a wide range of conduct and finance-related offenses.
Our team’s deep background in criminal law and procedure affords our attorneys a unique understanding of governmental and prosecutorial perspectives. By better understanding the true focus of an investigation, we can help clients protect their reputation and their business.
To help clients get out in front of compliance obligations, our attorneys and compliance professionals conduct compliance program training and policy assessments; develop tailored, industry-specific compliance programs; draft internal policies and codes of conduct; and assist in the evaluation of vendor offerings. We also conduct audits and internal investigations, represent clients in enforcement proceedings and determine when voluntary disclosures are appropriate.
We offer comprehensive counsel and corporate crime prevention strategies to businesses that are vulnerable to internal financial fraud, unauthorized data intrusions, wrongful employee conduct and conflicts of interest.
