About
Provided by Troutman Pepper Locke LLP
The legal and business ramifications of government enforcement actions and internal investigations can be extensive, and may include negative publicity, customer backlash, and financial and criminal liability. Our team includes former government prosecutors, in-house compliance counsel, and seasoned white collar defense attorneys who resolve sensitive government investigations and proceedings. We have decades of experience handling high-stakes civil and criminal government investigations throughout the U.S. and are able to respond quickly to minimize risk.
We guide clients through an often unfamiliar and complex process, defending companies and individuals in all types of government investigations, complex federal and state criminal investigations, and related civil litigation, including single-plaintiff and class actions. We have helped clients with inquiries handled by nearly every federal agency and many state enforcement agencies, including the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), U.S. Attorney’s offices, state attorneys general offices, and other federal and state regulators. Working proactively with our clients, we identify and communicate the risks and potential outcomes of law enforcement and regulatory activities, whether arising from civil enforcement actions or resulting from a criminal investigation.
