About

Provided by Dechert LLP

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.

Nearly a third of the firm’s litigators are in major commercial centers outside the U.S. As in the U.S., many have distinguished themselves at the highest levels of public service. 

We have white collar lawyers in Washington, D.C., New York, and other U.S. cities, as well as London, Moscow, Paris, Hong Kong and Singapore.
