Our services range from advising targets of grand jury investigations and witnesses who must appear before them, to guiding clients through the indictment, pretrial, negotiation phases, and representing our clients at trial and on appeal. We also frequently handle matters for individual and corporate clients in parallel investigations by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, self-regulatory organizations, congressional committees, and state and federal agencies.

In recent years, we have been at the forefront of every major white collar issue. Our lawyers are thought leaders who have been recognized for their trial skills by professional organizations, lecture frequently on issues relating to criminal law, and regularly contribute to various well-known publications.
