Matters We Handle

We represent companies and individuals being investigated or accused of wrongdoing by federal, state, or municipal enforcement, regulatory, and licensing agencies. Having worked on both the government and the defense side of these cases, we have great insight into the “pressure points” that often drive their outcomes. We have successfully handled:

• Governmental Investigations, Prosecutions, and Enforcement Actions Including Fraud, Conspiracy, Insider Trading, Bribery and Corruption, and Bid-Rigging
• Administrative and Professional Licensing Proceedings
• Whistleblower Actions
• Civil Rights Cases

We have handled and successfully resolved complex business disputes for public and private companies of all sizes, as well as for individuals. We have successfully litigated cases involving:

• Breach of Contract
• Fraud
• Breach of Fiduciary Duty
• Wrongful Interference, Unfair Competition, and Other Business Torts
• Defamation
• Malicious Prosecution
• Partnership Disputes
• Real Estate Litigation
• Securities Litigation
• Class Actions
• Officer/Director Liability
• Conflicts of Interest

We have extensive experience in workplace disputes and issues, including:

• Wrongful Termination
• Harassment and Discrimination
• Whistleblower and Retaliation Claims
• Internal Investigations

We have briefed and argued numerous appeals and dispositive trial court motions in both federal and state courts. We take pride in the fact that fellow lawyers turn to us to handle appellate proceedings or key trial court motions.

While litigation cannot always be avoided, the risks of litigation can often be reduced through thoughtful risk assessment, clear policies and controls, and pro-active strategy. In addition to representing clients in a wide variety of industries, we have worked as senior executives in large publicly traded companies and non-profits and are experienced in detecting and rooting out potential legal problems. We have conducted company-wide risk assessments, counseled boards of directors and senior management on risk mitigation strategies, designed and managed global compliance programs, drafted and implemented key compliance and management policies, provided training to management and employees, and conducted internal investigations into potential issues including fraud, corruption, misappropriation of confidential information, data security, employment issues, and conflicts of interest and other breaches of loyalty or professional ethics.
