Provided by Friedman Kaplan Seiler Adelman & Robbins LLP

White collar and investigations matters are inherently delicate, and managing them requires both sensitivity and tenacity. Friedman Kaplan attorneys have the experience, insight, dedication, and discretion to help our clients – from major public companies to individuals – feel at ease through challenging times, confident that their interests and corporate reputations are being well protected.

Led by former prosecutors, our team understands matters from the enforcement perspective and can confront the government confidently and aggressively when needed. In each case, Friedman Kaplan crafts a response and strategy based on a comprehensive understanding of each client’s business or individual circumstances, aiming to address not only the client’s legal issues, but also business, operational, and reputational concerns, in an attempt to achieve an outcome that best fits the client’s interests and objectives.

We represent domestic and foreign corporations, boards of directors, special committees, as well as individuals in criminal and regulatory enforcement proceedings, from investigation through to hearings, trials, and appeals. We have an established record of navigating challenging matters, whether in high-profile investigations or parallel criminal, regulatory, and civil proceedings.
