Investigations & Enforcement (International & Cross-Border)

Chambers Review

Ropes & Gray provides an integrated international offering with a strong global focus on financial services, life sciences and pharmaceuticals. The law firm's US offices act as its primary driving force for international work, with Boston and New York frequently leading cross-border work, typically coordinating global transactions for major private equity funds and corporations. Key areas of geographic strength include Asian markets, and Ropes & Gray is often considered a popular choice by US and Asian clients for investments from the USA into China and Japan, where the firm can also offer locally based US law-qualified experts. The US team also works in a seamless manner with the firm's London office, particularly for the funds and corporate side of the practice. 

The law firm boasts an impressively broad investigations and enforcement offering, headlined by a leading practice in Boston and supplemented by notable teams in New York, Washington, D.C. and Chicago. The group is widely recognised for its focus on the healthcare sector, frequently handling investigations on behalf of pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers concerning fraud and violations of the FCA. In addition to its demonstrable expertise in multi-jurisdictional FCPA investigations, Ropes & Gray is well versed in non-US anti-corruption matters.
