  • What distinguishes this department is the global reach of the practice, despite it being based in Atlanta. They represent very large, mutinational companies that operate in high-risk jurisdictions. And those companies come to them, in Atlanta, to navigate them through compliance questions, often involving conflicting regulatory regimes, as well government investigations across the globe.

  • There has been a lot of upheaval in the US with the Trump Administration and Jones Day seems to have a strong pulse on enforcement trends locally, as well as the regulatory reaction abroad.
