When the stakes are high, companies and individuals turn to Bracewell’s New York government enforcement and investigations team for advice and guidance. The firm boasts one of the most respected white-collar teams in the United States, with decades of collective experience as defense lawyers, former prosecutors, regulators and federal judges. The team draws on its broad and diverse background to provide strategic and informed advice to companies and individuals faced with federal or state enforcement actions or investigations.


Our wealth of experience working with regulators on enforcement actions enables us to effectively advise companies on designing and implementing compliance programs that utilize best practices for avoiding potential misconduct. This work is most often handled confidentially.


We proactively conduct expert internal audits and investigations that discreetly uncover past misconduct. Our lawyers then provide confidential recommendations on how to address any exposed misconduct and prevent its recurrence in the future. In recent years, our proactive approach has extended to assisting companies in addressing issues related to discrimination, harassment and retaliation, and providing recommendations for improvement.


In addition, we vigorously defend companies and individuals in enforcement actions and white-collar investigations.
