About

Our White Collar & Regulatory Defense group defends major corporations and their executives in high-stakes matters, in and out of the courtroom. From federal investigations to state attorneys’ general inquiries and whistleblower complaints, we approach each representation as aggressive defense litigators with deep experience in both trials and appeals. When our clients’ best interest is to avoid litigation, we leverage our extensive courtroom experience and credibility to settle matters out of court on the terms most favorable for our clients. When litigation is the best strategy or cannot be avoided, we know how to try cases and try them successfully.


We conduct internal investigations in a thorough but cost-efficient manner, focusing on key issues from the start to reduce the impact on the business as much as possible.
