Modern businesses face many challenges in navigating an increasingly complex regulatory and legal landscape. While the first line of defense is always a strong compliance program, even the most responsible business may find itself the subject of a regulatory or even criminal investigation. When that day comes, businesses, their boards, executives and employees need counsel experienced in responding to the weight and force of such government actions. The lawyers in our White-Collar and Regulatory Group have extensive experience representing corporate and individual clients in all stages of government investigations and civil and criminal cases. Whether the goal is to convince prosecutors or regulators not to bring enforcement actions or, when necessary, convincing juries in follow-on civil or criminal litigation, Duane Morris attorneys have a history of skillfully representing clients in challenging federal and state proceedings.
Our team includes several former high-ranking government officials with the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and United States Attorneys’ and Federal Defenders’ Offices around the country, in addition to those who have distinguished themselves as lifelong criminal defense counsel.
