Litigation: White-Collar Crime & Government Investigations

About

Provided by Riley Safer Holmes & Cancila LLP

RSHC is recognized for its exceptional record on behalf of individuals and organizations involved in government investigations and enforcement actions.

At the onset of cases, we have been successful in convincing the Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys’ offices, and other federal, state, and local agencies to decline or dismiss charges. We also routinely beat the odds by obtaining indictment dismissals and other favorable resolutions, including deferred prosecution agreements, for our clients.

Even as we devote our efforts to resolving cases as soon as possible, we go to trial when necessary and are well-known to the government as highly effective courtroom advocates who score major trial and appellate victories on behalf of our clients.

Members of our team have served in varying levels of government, including as Assistant U.S. Attorneys across the country, state and special prosecutors, and a state circuit court judge. Collectively, we have tried more than 200 cases, over half of which were criminal cases, before state and federal juries.

Because members of our team have held high-ranking positions in the White House Counsel’s office, the office of the Mayor of Chicago, and in the legal departments of global public companies, clients know they also can rely on us to conduct thorough and confidential internal investigations and to counsel them through decisions around voluntary disclosures.
