About
Provided by Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP
The RSHC White Collar Defense, Investigations & Compliance group is known as a go-to team for sophisticated businesses, corporate executives, and other individuals facing government investigations and enforcement actions. They frequently succeed in convincing the DOJ, U.S. Attorneys’ offices, and other federal, state, and local agencies to decline or dismiss charges at the onset of cases. They also routinely obtain indictment dismissals and other favorable resolutions, including deferred prosecution agreements.
Always aiming to resolve cases as soon as possible, its highly skilled attorneys are prepared to go to trial when necessary and are well known to the government as highly effective courtroom advocates who score major trial and appellate victories on behalf of their clients.
RSHC attorneys have served in varying levels of government, including as Assistant U.S. Attorneys across the country, state and special prosecutors, and a state circuit court judge. Collectively, the firm has tried more than 200 cases, over half of which were criminal cases, before state and federal juries.
Because RSHC team members have held high-ranking positions in the office of the Mayor of Chicago and in legal departments of global public companies, clients rely on the firm to conduct thorough and confidential internal investigations, counsel clients through decisions around voluntary disclosures, and anticipate and counter the government’s strategy until each matter is favorably resolved.
