Provided by ruth LLP
ruth LLP’s practice represents executives, founders, and companies in criminal, regulatory, internal investigations, and related civil proceedings. The five-person team regularly handles matters involving parallel criminal and regulatory exposure, multi‑agency investigations, and significant digital evidence. With three lawyers and two experienced support professionals, ruth LLP is designed for deep engagement and efficiency in sensitive matters. The team has strong in‑house tech abilities, including managing ESI discovery and analyzing Cellebrite and other digital evidence.
Recent work highlights include defending a criminal jury trial in February and March 2026 within the 60‑day speedy‑trial clock, involving cryptocurrency theft, money laundering, and robbery targeting hardware crypto wallets. Working against multiple enforcement agencies, substantial digital evidence, and late‑breaking discovery, the team defeated the most serious enhancements and preserved multiple issues for appeal.
Additional recent work includes: an internal investigation following accounting irregularities at a large consumer‑facing chain; representing individuals in SEC enforcement actions with potential parallel criminal exposure; and advising individuals in sensitive federal criminal investigations with parallel civil proceedings. The team works at the intersection of defense and data‑driven investigations, combining trial‑ready advocacy with the agility of a boutique practice.
