White Collar Defense

Our White Collar Investigations & Enforcement practice group represents individuals and businesses in criminal and regulatory enforcement matters in the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and throughout the United States. Our attorneys advise and counsel clients facing investigation or charges by federal and state law enforcement, regulatory, and administrative authorities. Not only do we represent individuals and businesses that are under investigation or facing formal charges, but we also counsel clients on how to avoid or minimize the impact of looming investigations.

Attorneys in the White Collar Investigations & Enforcement practice group have worked on some of the most significant white collar matters that have arisen over the last 35 years, starting with the Watergate cover-up case and also a number of independent counsel investigations and prosecutions. Our attorneys, including a former Assistant United States Attorney, a former Special Assistant U.S. Attorney, a former JAG officer and a former Deputy Independent Counsel, are well-versed in the criminal process, and leverage this crucial experience to achieve the best results for clients in these often intimidating inquiries and proceedings.

Clients come to our attorneys from industries as diverse as defense contracting, labor unions, gaming, food services, small businesses and non-profits, as well as health care and federal grantees. Our attorneys represent and support clients through all stages and options of their enforcement matter, from internal investigations, administrative hearings, arbitrations and mediations, to criminal and civil trials, grand jury investigations, and Inspector General Investigations.
