Baker Botts' White Collar Defense and Corporate Investigations Practice represents companies and individuals across the full spectrum of government enforcement and internal investigation matters. The team — which includes former senior prosecutors and officials from the DOJ, the SEC, and other federal and state agencies — brings firsthand insight into how investigations are initiated, staffed, and resolved at every level of government.
The practice advises clients from the earliest stages of regulatory risk through resolution: guiding compliance programs and risk assessments, managing responses to government subpoenas, conducting board-directed internal investigations, and defending enforcement actions through trial and appeal. Drawing on the firm's deep bench in the energy, technology, financial services, and life sciences sectors, the team handles matters involving fraud, public corruption, sanctions and export controls, the FCPA, anti-money laundering, and securities enforcement — while actively advising on emerging risks in areas such as digital assets, ESG disclosures, and artificial intelligence.
When crisis demands immediate action, the practice mobilizes cross-functional teams pairing investigative counsel with regulatory, congressional-inquiry, and strategic communications capabilities, emphasizing speed, discretion, and the preservation of both legal defenses and institutional reputation.
