Government and Regulatory

We draw on deep experience in the public and private sectors to provide clients legal advice and representation in a variety of regulatory and government-related contexts, including:

  • Advising clients facing investigation by regulatory and criminal enforcement agencies under anti-bribery/anti-corruption, campaign finance, competition, securities, and other laws, both in the U.S. and overseas. 

  • Advising whistleblowers in connection with federal, state, and local whistleblower programs and anti-retaliation rules.

  • Representing clients in internal investigations concerning whistleblower complaints and compliance with relevant laws.

  • Representing clients involved in proceedings before U.S. and international administrative agencies.

  • Representing clients in connection with government actions affecting private property or interests.

  • Representing state and local government agencies and offices in disputes with other public actors and private parties.

Recognizing that the real victories in these contexts often are the ones that never make the headlines, we strive to deliver discreet advice with the goal of achieving the best possible outcomes in challenging situations.
