White collar investigations can lead to devastating outcomes. Berman Fink Van Horn advises companies and individuals in white collar civil and criminal investigations conducted by government agencies and grand juries to ensure compliance with legal obligations, avoid worst case scenarios, and defend against criminal prosecution.

BFV represents witnesses, subjects, targets, and victims in civil and criminal cases investigated and prosecuted by federal agencies, including the DOJ, IRS, and SEC.

The firm’s experience covers a wide range of industries, including financial services; tax preparation, accounting, and advisory services; healthcare, pharmaceutical, and laboratory; government contracting; immigrant labor and staffing; and national security, including export controls.

BFV’s attorneys routinely convince the government to decline prosecution, dismiss indictments, and reduce charges. 

When necessary, the firm handles trial, sentencing advocacy, and appeals. BFV assists clients during all stages of an investigation. This includes responding to internal whistleblower complaints, interview requests by agents, target letters, grand jury subpoenas, and civil investigative demands. Clients also contact BFV when a search warrant is executed at their business or residence, after indictment, and post-conviction to handle sentencing and appeals.
