About

Provided by Harris St. Laurent & Wechsler LLP

HSW’s White Collar department in NY defends individuals and companies charged in sophisticated federal criminal and SEC investigations, typically involving financial crimes. Two of our NY White Collar Partners are Chambers ranked. We represent clients in cases and investigations brought by the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of NY, the SEC, the US Department of Justice, the Federal Reserve, the NY County District Attorney’s Office, among other agencies. These matters have involved insider trading, crypto and NFTs, criminal antitrust, asset forfeiture, and other finance-related investigations. Because of our firm's Chambers Ranked Employment Practice, we also specialize in representing executives and top producers in connection with internal, regulatory, and criminal investigations stemming from their employment.

Our NY Department is closely integrated as well with our D.C. office, which features two Chambers Ranked White Collar partners, and whose matters typically involve financial crimes, public corruption, or national security. Because we represent many individual clients, we have oriented our practice to address advancement and indemnification of legal fees, as well as insurance coverage. In addition, we have an in-house psychologist who works as part of our case team preparing clients for interviews and trials, and we frequently work with our clients to maintain or regain licenses and memberships in professional organizations.
