Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations

Sheppard’s White Collar Defense and Investigations team defends companies and their directors, officers and employees in high-stakes government inquiries, investigations and proceedings. While our greatest achievements are non-public, our team also has consistently compelled the government to meet its burden of proof, resulting in favorable outcomes for clients.  

Sheppard’s team includes more than 60 former government lawyers, including senior federal and state prosecutors, enforcement attorneys and regulators. This extensive, firsthand experience gives us deep insight into how agencies such as the DOJ, SEC, FINRA, FTC, IRS, FDA and HHS investigate, prosecute and resolve matters—and how to anticipate their next moves. 

Our work spans the full spectrum of white collar matters, including fraud, FCPA, securities violations, antitrust cartel, False Claims Act, national security, healthcare, tax, public corruption, cybercrime, money laundering, environmental crimes and more. The clients we serve come from a wide range of industries, such as health care, financial services, technology, life sciences, energy, media, and aerospace and defense.
