Career

Brian M. Heberlig has more than 20 years of jury trial experience in complex, high-profile criminal cases nationwide. Brian handles matters involving allegations of public corruption, securities and accounting fraud, export controls and sanctions violations, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, theft of intellectual property, antitrust conspiracies, healthcare fraud, money laundering, environmental offenses, and other business crimes.

Brian also leads internal investigations on behalf of clients to examine allegations of fraud and misconduct and handles Securities and Exchange Commission enforcement proceedings, complex commercial litigation, and congressional investigations.

Brian is a Fellow of the American College of Trial Lawyers and a two-time winner of The American Lawyer Litigator of the Week. He has been described by Chambers USA as a "revered member of the DC trial bar" who is "extremely detail-oriented, strategic and very skilled" in the courtroom. Brian's success in a trial involving a rare Rule 29 acquittal earned praise from the presiding federal judge, who described his advocacy as "crisp, cogent, thoughtful," and "some of the best trial work we have ever had the privilege to see in this or any courtroom."

Brian is co-head of Steptoe's Investigations and White-Collar Defense group and a member of the firm's Executive Committee.
