White Collar Defense

Your case may not go to trial – we may find a better way to resolve the issue before trial becomes necessary. But every step of the way, we evaluate the impact of our strategy and decisions, and we work to ensure that every choice, every action we take strengthens our case if a trial becomes necessary.

Many of our clients face legal challenges on multiple fronts: criminal, regulatory, and civil. We approach the difficulties that arise from such parallel proceedings with well-planned strategies so each proceeding is conducted in a manner that considers its impact on the other.

We represent clients in the most difficult situations of their lives, and we understand the impact these investigations have on our clients’ day-to-day commercial and professional activities.

For businesses, the impact on reputation and finances can be significant; for individuals, the toll on lives and families can be extraordinary. Our approach takes these factors into account as we seek resolutions that achieve our clients’ goals and objectives.

Our experience as a national white collar litigation firm gives us the perspective and knowledge to conduct effective internal investigations for public and private companies—domestic and international—and to work with law enforcement, when appropriate, to resolve criminal or regulatory violations.

With the U.S. government relying increasingly on contractors to provide services for defense and health care programs, it has devoted greater resources to investigating and prosecuting procurement fraud.

We help clients navigate the complex web of criminal, civil, administrative, and business considerations that characterize procurement fraud investigations and prosecutions. We zealously protect our clients’ legal interests even as we work to minimize business disruption, safeguard reputations, and preserve good will.

We handle a broad spectrum of health care fraud cases—regulatory, civil, and criminal—including claims of billing fraud, false claims, kickbacks, off-label promotions, and an array of other matters.

Our white collar team includes a founding member of the Health Fraud Task Force for the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Florida, a former deputy to the DOJ Special Counsel for Financial and Health Care Fraud, other former prosecutors of complex white collar cases, and two current co-chairs of the Health Care Fraud Sub-Committee of the American Bar Association White Collar Crime Committee.
