Setting the standard in white-collar representation

Clients seek out our white collar lawyers in Washington, D.C., London, and other global hubs for good reason:

  • We’re a leader in managing large, complex, high-stakes investigations.
  • We’ve successfully represented clients in virtually all substantive areas of white collar defense.
  • Our global presence enables us to represent clients both in single-and multi-jurisdictional matters — criminal cases, internal investigations, enforcement matters — worldwide.
  • In the U.S., we frequently represent clients before the Department of Justice (DOJ), Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and all other federal agencies, Congress, as well as state attorneys general, state and local prosecutors, and other government and regulatory bodies.
  • We have significant experience with top non-U.S. regulators. These notably include the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) in the UK, as well as the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) and similar authorities in Asia and Europe.


We’re equally adept at dealing with high-profile cases, crisis management, and handling matters discreetly and out of the media.

Our clients span the universe of industries and include public and private businesses; executives, officers and other individuals; and boards of directors and audit committees.
