Practice Areas
Gabi Friedman represents U.S. and international clients, both individuals and corporates, in matters ranging from cross-border criminal investigations and prosecutions to complex civil and regulatory matters, often with a global dimension. These matters have involved allegations of corporate and securities fraud, accounting fraud, criminal antitrust law, and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Gabi has represented clients in investigations, in the complex strategic negotiations that accompany a non-litigated resolution of criminal or regulatory charges, and when necessary at trial. She has had matters involving extradition proceedings, proceedings pursuant to MLATs, and has represented clients facing parallel investigations in more than one country. Such matters often involve coordinating the rights accorded suspects and witnesses in different criminal justice systems as well as complex issues of data privacy law. Gabi is a fluent German speaker who has lived and worked in Germany, with extensive experience representing citizens of foreign countries under investigation by U.S. authorities.
