About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

The strength of Baker McKenzie’s investigations and enforcement practice rests on three foundational elements: our deep bench of experienced practitioners; our ability to quickly form global teams that address the needs of clients worldwide; and our use of the most current technology to coordinate and streamline our work. Our team consists of attorneys with experience working for the Department of Justice, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's Division of Enforcement and various state prosecutors offices. Collectively, we have more than 150 years of DOJ and SEC experience. Members of our practice have also clerked on federal courts throughout the United States and on the Delaware Chancery Court, and have served in senior in-house roles supervising large, multinational investigations. We have established a local, national and global reputation for successfully defending businesses, executives and employees in ground-breaking cases, including noteworthy criminal FCPA, antitrust, tax, securities, immigration and fraud matters. We represent multinational corporations as well as individuals in these matters.
