Investigations and White Collar Defense

Our zeal, tenacity, and thoroughness—coupled with our substantial experience both as prosecutors and defense counsel—have earned us the confidence of top executives in high-profile investigations:  Enron, Halliburton, the UN Iraq Oil-for-Food Program, America Online, and more.

They trust us because we bring to our clients the mature counseling and vigorous defense required in today's complex and highly regulated business environment.

• congressional, grand jury, and inspector general investigations
• parallel civil and criminal proceedings
• criminal and regulatory investigations of corporations and organizations

We work hard for our clients, leaving no stone unturned and availing them of every potential legal and strategic benefit through both robust common interest alliances and, where necessary, setting a separate course.
