Compliance Counseling

We also provide compliance counseling that helps clients avoid issues before they occur to help you understand and adhere to laws, regulations, and ethical standards to prevent violations. We focus on prevention of legal violations, internal audits and risk assessments, training and education, developing compliance programs, regulatory liaison and crisis management, and post-violation remediation. White-collar crimes often involve regulatory or procedural missteps, which can carry severe penalties including fines, sanctions, loss of business reputation, and criminal charges. By proactively engaging in compliance counseling with our attorneys, organizations and individuals can: protect themselves from inadvertent violations, reduce liability by demonstrating a commitment to lawful and ethical practices, and foster a culture of transparency and accountability.

Internal Corporate Investigations

Our representation frequently involves internal corporate investigations to uncover facts related to potential misconduct, policy violations, regulatory breaches, or criminal activities. This helps manage risk, ensure compliance, and demonstrate accountability.

Pre-Indictment Counseling

Our representation frequently involves pre-indictment counseling to help shape the case’s trajectory, mitigate legal risks, and potentially avoid formal charges altogether. It is a critical stage in white-collar crime defense. We push to understand the allegations, prevent an indictment, prepare for a defense, and minimize exposure.

Trials and Appeals in Federal Courts

Our representation defends you through trials and appeals in federal courts. These trials involve strict procedural rules and focus on adjudicating cases that fall under federal jurisdiction. From pretrial proceedings, trial prep, and the trial itself, our defense attorneys are experienced in all areas.

If a party is dissatisfied with the trial court’s decision, we may appeal to a higher court to review the case.

Civil and Administrative Actions

Our representation frequently involves civil and administrative actions, legal proceedings distinct from criminal cases, focusing on resolving disputes, enforcing regulations, or addressing non-criminal violations of law. They often deal with regulatory compliance, financial disputes, and other professional or organizational issues.
