We conduct internal investigations and defend government investigations for corporate and individual clients around the world. These involve matters of U.S. securities and commodities laws such as insider trading, anti-bribery/anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, economic sanctions, wire fraud, cybercrime, economic espionage, embezzlement, False Claims Act (FCA), antitrust and unfair competition, congressional investigations, and workplace conduct.   

Our team of former SEC enforcement branch chiefs and attorneys and other experienced practitioners lead clients through DOJ and SEC investigations arising from complex trading practices and platforms in the securities and commodities markets, digital asset and cryptocurrency products, and private funds, among other areas. We have played an instrumental role in shaping government efforts to regulate and legislate practices in blockchain and cryptocurrency. 

We help clients prevent, detect, and remediate U.S. and international anti-bribery and anti-corruption issues associated with the FCPA, the Travel Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act, among others. Clients turn to us to design compliance programs, conduct internal investigations, and perform third-party due diligence, defend in enforcement proceedings, and resolve government inquiries. Our team includes former DOJ, SEC and other government attorneys.  

We have a deep understanding of the complexity and necessity of truly independent evaluation and oversight. Our reputation as trusted and ethical advisors with superior legal skills has been recognized by numerous courts, federal government agencies, and state bars, which have selected us for several high-profile monitorships, compliance consultancy, and receivership assignments. Our approach is simple: we faithfully execute assignments to the satisfaction of the government while working efficiently with company management.  

We handle bet-the-company cases involving billions of dollars in claims.  We also have significant depth in FCA counseling for defense contractors, healthcare companies, and individuals.  

Our lawyers routinely handle cyber incidents in the United States and around the world. With a team that includes a Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP) and former DOJ national security officials and cybercrime prosecutors, our bench includes lawyers with knowledge relevant to every stage of an incident response, from preparation to lessons learned, as well as post-breach regulatory inquiry and litigation. While not every breach requires notification or disclosure, each one requires an individualized response tailored to the facts and an evaluation to minimize the risk of future breaches.  

Our capabilities cover compliance program drafting and implementation; proactive code of conduct review and trainings; day-to-day compliance counseling and issue spotting.  

We provide clients with experienced advice on a variety of environmental, health, and safety matters. Our services cover issues related to water and air quality, hazardous substance management, and compliance with permits. Our lawyers are well-versed in compliance and enforcement strategies and have significant experience negotiating with agencies like the DOJ, Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and other federal, state, and local bodies. We also defend clients against enforcement actions under the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, and other laws.  

We are the first AmLaw 100 law firm to develop a dedicated practice in this area. We help clients achieve practical compliance and meaningful risk minimization, and we help them reap the benefits of maintaining compliant and responsible programs. Our team of former government officials and subject matter professionals takes an opportunities-based approach that is integrated with our clients’ overall business strategies.
