Practice Areas

White Collar Criminal Defense

Our firm represents individuals, executives, and organizations in criminal and regulatory matters. With experience on both sides of the courtroom, we understand the investigative and enforcement process from the inside and bring a steady, strategic approach to each case we take on.

​​

Clients turn to us in some of their most sensitive moments — when reputations, careers, and livelihoods are on the line. We help them navigate inquiries and investigations brought by the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other enforcement agencies, offering clarity and sound judgment at every stage. Whether responding to a grand jury subpoena, managing parallel civil and criminal exposure, or preparing for trial, we are trusted to handle these matters with discretion and precision.

​​

We know that in white collar cases, early decisions can shape the entire trajectory of an investigation. Our approach is built around careful preparation, close collaboration with our clients, and a willingness to engage aggressively when necessary. As trial lawyers, we are equipped to take a case all the way to verdict — but we are equally skilled at identifying opportunities for early and favorable resolution.

Internal Investigations

We conduct thorough and discreet internal investigations for organizations facing regulatory scrutiny, corporate misconduct, or reputational risks. Whether triggered by concerns about, for example, employee conduct or compliance violations, we provide clear guidance to navigate challenging issues with confidence.

Our team draws on extensive experience to help clients assess risks and gather key facts to make informed decisions when responding to the conduct that led to the investigation. We understand the importance of confidentiality and sensitivity in these matters, and we work closely with our clients to ensure the integrity of every investigation while minimizing potential exposure. 
 
These investigations can often intersect with civil litigation and potential criminal exposure, which requires a nuanced, interdisciplinary approach. We offer strategic counsel on managing these parallel civil, regulatory, and criminal concerns, ensuring our clients are prepared for every eventuality. 

Civil Litigation

Our firm handles complex civil litigation, guiding clients through high-stakes disputes with a focus on clear, actionable advice and thorough preparation. ​​Our team has tried dozens of cases to verdict and brings a trial-ready mindset to every stage of litigation. We believe that strong preparation for trial is often the best leverage to negotiate a favorable pretrial outcome. That means developing the facts, sharpening the legal issues, and aligning strategy with our clients’ broader objectives from day one.

We also understand that civil litigation doesn’t happen in a vacuum. For many clients, litigation intersects with reputational concerns and ongoing business operations. We take a comprehensive view of each case, working closely with our clients to craft solutions that reflect the full scope of what’s at stake.​

Congressional Investigations

We represent individuals and organizations in high-stakes congressional investigations, drawing on our deep experience navigating politically sensitive matters and parallel inquiries. Our team has prepared witnesses for testimony before Congress, responded to committee subpoenas and oversight requests, and advised on legal and strategic risks associated with public hearings and document productions. We understand the unique legal, reputational, and political challenges these investigations present—and we provide clear, strategic counsel at every step.

Whether clients face scrutiny from congressional committees, need help assessing exposure, or require support preparing for testimony, we bring thoughtful, experienced guidance in politically sensitive and high-pressure environments.
