Work Highlights

  • McGuireWoods represented The Brink’s Company in a multiyear investigation by the DOJ and FinCEN concerning alleged compliance failures related to cross‑border currency shipments. The matter concluded with a coordinated resolution, including a non‑prosecution agreement with the DOJ and a consent order with FinCEN, resolving the investigations without the appointment of a monitor.
