Jones Walker’s Corporate Compliance & White Collar Defense Practice Group works with clients with operations across the globe to solve complex compliance issues, handle internal and government investigations, and defend against criminal prosecutions and enforcement actions.

Our White Collar Defense & Investigations attorneys regularly represent individuals and companies before grand juries and in federal and state courts at both the trial and appellate levels. We are a team of experienced trial attorneys who have conducted hundreds of jury trials and investigations in both government and private practice.

We have substantial experience in a broad range of enforcement actions in the United States and worldwide, involving antitrust, civil rights, conspiracy, embezzlement and money laundering, the environment, the False Claims Act, the FCPA, fraud, healthcare, public corruption and bribery, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and whistleblower complaints. 

One of our core strengths is our deep experience in handling simultaneous parallel state and federal criminal, regulatory, and administrative proceedings and our ability to draw upon the subject-matter experience of our partners in the areas of banking, energy, environmental, gaming, healthcare, insurance, maritime, and tax, among others.
