White Collar Criminal Defense, Corporate Investigations, and Regulatory Compliance:

Businesses today face challenges navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and legal landscape. While the first line of defense is a strong compliance program, even the most responsible business may find itself the subject of a civil, regulatory—or even criminal—government investigation. When that happens, businesses, their boards, executives and employees need counsel experienced in responding to the weight and force of such government actions. The lawyers in Duane Morris’ White-Collar Criminal Defense, Corporate Investigations and Regulatory Compliance Group have extensive experience representing corporate and individual clients in all stages of civil, regulatory and criminal government investigations. They regularly handle complex parallel investigations, involving both criminal authorities, such as the U.S. Department of Justice, and federal and state regulatory agencies such as the SEC, CFTC, FTC, FERC, state attorney general offices, state securities commissions and financial self regulators, including FINRA and NFA. Whether the goal is to convince prosecutors or regulators not to bring enforcement actions or, when necessary, convincing juries in civil or criminal litigation, Duane Morris attorneys have a history of skillfully representing clients in challenging federal and state prosecutions and enforcement proceedings.
