What the Team is Known For

Debevoise & Plimpton has a distinguished history of resolving matters for major corporations facing investigation by the DOJ and SEC, among other domestic and international enforcement agencies. The firm has a strong bench of seasoned white-collar litigators and former prosecutors with extensive experience in handling criminal and civil proceedings, along with internal corporate investigations. It has deep understanding of matters concerning anti-corruption and money laundering laws in the US and abroad. The firm is noted for representing major clients in the automotive, financial services and pharmaceutical sectors. It also assists clients with wide-ranging internal investigations following allegations of sexual abuse and harassment.

Work Highlights

  • Debevoise advised American Express Company in a series of multi‑year investigations by the DOJ and other US regulators into alleged sales‑practice misconduct. The matters concluded in January 2025 with a civil settlement with the DOJ’s Civil Division and a non‑prosecution agreement with the US Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York relating to alleged wire‑fraud issues, while other investigations were resolved without enforcement action.
