Businesses or individuals faced with a government investigation, indictment, or trial need rapid, creative, and sound legal advocacy. Lowenstein Sandler's white collar criminal lawyer team draws on a deep well of collective knowledge enhanced by battle-tested experience to safeguard our clients' reputations and protect their futures.
The group includes five former federal prosecutors with career experience at the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York and District of New Jersey. Additionally, the group includes a former New Jersey Attorney General, and a former New Jersey State Comptroller. Our in-depth understanding of governmental agencies lends the practice a strong advantage in investigations brought by the DOJ, US Attorneys’ Offices, the SEC, the IRS, OFAC, DDTC, BIS, state attorneys general, and other regulatory bodies. We represent large corporations, boards of directors, and audit committees, and we dedicate equal passion and attention to individuals such as directors and officers of public and private corporations and investment professionals. Areas of focus include the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); criminal antitrust; health care, securities, and tax fraud; internal investigations; political corruption; and regulatory compliance.
Our lawyers know when to fight and when to keep clients out of court, and some of our greatest successes are the nonpublic resolutions we achieve in extremely sensitive matters.
