White Collar Defense

Whether leading the defense of an executive in a public trial or negotiating a quiet resolution behind the scenes, we bring rigor, discretion, and experience. Our clients may be targets, subjects or witnesses in cases brought by, among others, the United States Department of Justice, the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern or Eastern District of New York, the New York Attorney General’s Office, or the District Attorney’s Offices in Manhattan or Brooklyn. We have handled matters involving allegations of antitrust violations, securities fraud, insider trading, mail and wire fraud, money laundering, bribery, mortgage fraud, embezzlement, sanctions violations, obstruction of justice, and other financial crimes.

We are particularly skilled at navigating the unique dynamics that arise when an employee’s alleged conduct has implications for the broader enterprise. Our team regularly works in coordination with corporate counsel, internal investigations, and crisis communications professionals to ensure alignment of defense strategy with broader organizational goals. When appropriate, we also act as pool counsel for similarly situated employees or liaise with government agencies to mitigate risk before it becomes exposure.

We understand the profound personal and professional consequences that come with a white collar investigation. Whether you’re a general counsel navigating institutional exposure or an individual executive facing potential charges, we provide strategic, focused advocacy tailored to your specific circumstances. If you’re confronting a current matter, or need experienced counsel before one arises, we’re here to guide you through it with clarity and resolve.
