Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations

Levy Firestone Muse LLP—whose lawyers and investigators have spent years at the U.S. Department of Justice, the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, the U.S. Senate, and the White House—is best known for representing clients in investigations and litigation at the intersection of law and politics. LFM represents clients from every investigative vantage point: from clients under government scrutiny, to institutional clients hiring LFM to conduct large-scale investigations, to whistleblower clients reporting wrongdoing to government investigators. LFM litigators have represented both plaintiffs and defendants in high stakes, often politically fraught litigation, achieving success through creative thinking, clear writing, and oral advocacy.

• Fusion GPS, the company that commissioned “the Steele Dossier,” in Special Counsel John Durham’s criminal investigations;
