Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations

When the stakes are high, companies and individuals turn to Bracewell’s government enforcement and investigations team for advice and guidance. We have one of the most respected white-collar teams in the country, with decades of collective experience as defense lawyers, former prosecutors, regulators and federal judges.

We draw on our broad and diverse background to provide strategic and informed advice to companies and individuals faced with federal or state enforcement actions or investigations. Our team conducts internal investigations and develops, reviews and audits corporate compliance programs to help minimize the risk of violations and reduce the likelihood of prosecution in government investigations. We help also companies identify and address issues related to discrimination, harassment and retaliation. If we uncover past misconduct during an internal audit and investigation, we make confidential recommendations on the best way to handle the situation and avoid similar issues in the future.

We vigorously defend individuals and companies in white-collar investigations and prosecution at various levels of government. Our team has been at the forefront of numerous notable actions and secured favorable outcomes in highly sensitive, and often complex, matters. Our lawyers are highly regarded among their peers and are frequently sought out by judges and corporate executives to monitor compliance with policies, procedures, laws, regulations and ethics programs.
