About

Provided by Dentons

Dentons’ attorneys have years of experience and vast knowledge in the area of commercial litigation. The firm has helped clients on all types of such matters, including breach-of-contract disputes; shareholder and partnership disputes; defamation claims; professional liability; civil conspiracy; tortious interference with a contract or business expectancies; civil fraud; and negligent misrepresentation.

With expertise in White Collar Investigations, Dentons’ lawyers have extensive experience in defending and coordinating collateral proceedings that are inherent in white collar litigation, including civil False Claims Act lawsuits and forfeiture actions, administrative proceedings, government audits, investigations by other governmental agencies, shareholder derivative lawsuits, and related state investigations. We are at home in the courtroom and inside government offices and have handled cases across the US.

Since indictments are the culmination of investigative activity, our involvement begins long before a decision to prosecute. Highly proficient in conducting internal investigations, our greatest successes are those in which charges are never filed and investigations are never made public. Our lawyers also work closely with clients to develop and improve their corporate compliance programs to minimize enforcement legal risk .
