About

Provided by Hinckley Allen

The rigorous pursuit of smart resolutions defines Hinckley Allen's White Collar & Government Enforcement practice — a team of former federal and state prosecutors and seasoned defense attorneys with decades of experience navigating the most serious and sensitive matters.

The team represents publicly traded and privately held corporations, small businesses, and individuals across the full spectrum of government investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, and criminal prosecutions in both federal and state courts. That experience spans some of the most high-profile white-collar prosecutions in the Northeast over the past two decades.

The practice covers the full range of white-collar exposure, including:

  • Health care, financial services, banks, and government contractor fraud
  • SEC investigations and enforcement actions
  • Qui tam and whistleblower defense
  • Criminal and civil RICO actions
  • Public and political corruption
  • National security offenses and foreign corrupt practices
  • Cybersecurity, privacy, and data protection
  • Insider trading, money laundering, and tax fraud
  • Grand jury representation and internal investigations
  • Environmental crimes and immigration fraud

From the first call to the last day of trial, the team brings the credibility of former prosecutors and the tenacity of experienced defense counsel — an advantage that is difficult to replicate.
