Beth Forsythe

Companies and individuals trust Beth to guide them through their most sensitive fraud investigations and related civil litigation

A former CPA, Beth speaks the language of business. She defends board and executives against government investigations into potential FCPA violations and accounting fraud, litigates civil frauds and earnout cases, and advises companies on compliance to mitigate the risks associated with bribery and corruption. Clients trust Beth to apply good judgment and pursue the best possible outcome for them.

In her white collar and corporate investigations practice, Beth plans and conducts effective internal investigations and represents those under investigation by federal or state authorities for Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA") violations, securities fraud, health care fraud, mortgage fraud, and public corruption. Beth also routinely provides anti-corruption/FCPA due diligence and compliance advisory services, including program development, board presentations, and employee training. Beth’s approach to investigations is to quickly and accurately define the scope of the issue; her goal is to help clients fully resolve the issue at hand without wasting their resources. In her civil practice, Beth focuses on complex commercial disputes and government litigation, drawing on her background as a certified public accountant (her license is on inactive status) to help clients resolve matters involving complex accounting, securities, and other financial issues. Beth also serves on Dorsey’s Management Committee.
