About

Provided by Fox Rothschild

Sharp. Tenacious. Pragmatic.

When everything is on the line — your reputation, your livelihood, your company — our attorneys have your back. We defend individuals, corporations and executives facing the full spectrum of government scrutiny, from regulatory inquiries and enforcement actions to grand jury investigations and criminal prosecutions. We also design and strengthen compliance programs, conduct sensitive internal investigations, navigate parallel proceedings and help clients manage the reputational fallout that often accompanies a government investigation or criminal charge.

Our attorneys aren't just litigators — they're battle-hardened trial lawyers. Many are former federal prosecutors and Justice Department attorneys who have investigated and prosecuted everything from environmental crimes and financial fraud to organized crime and public corruption. They bring insider knowledge of how law enforcement and government agencies think, strategize and build cases — and they use it to your advantage. Other members of the team have spent decades in private practice defending major corporations and prominent individuals in high-stakes criminal and civil matters, giving them a detailed understanding of what clients need when the pressure is at its peak. With technology playing a growing role in investigations of all types, our team stays at the forefront of new developments in the law.
