Zuckerman Spaeder LLP
White Collar & Government Investigations
In an environment marked by expanding federal, state, and international regulations and more aggressive government enforcement, conduct that the government traditionally addressed through regulatory or civil enforcement alone is now the subject of criminal investigation and enforcement as well. Corporations and individuals more frequently find themselves affected by investigations or enforcement proceedings with criminal dimensions. With more than three decades of experience representing clients involved in white collar and government investigations, Zuckerman Spaeder LLP understands these evolving risks.
We represent our clients with great passion, and our rigorous legal analysis leads to creative defenses, solutions, strategies, and resolutions in regulatory, criminal, and congressional investigations. Our team of experienced attorneys includes many former federal prosecutors and regulators who offer important insight in crafting successful resolutions of controversies. While we are adept at litigation avoidance, our attorneys are just as comfortable utilizing their significant trial and appellate skills to advance our clients’ interests in the courtroom.
Zuckerman Spaeder frequently represents clients involved in cases that include grand jury investigations alongside regulatory enforcement actions and civil litigation. We approach the difficulties that arise from such parallel proceedings with nuanced, well-planned strategies so each proceeding is conducted in a manner that considers its impact on the other.
While the firm’s roots are in white collar and government investigations, our general investigative experience is complemented by extensive subject-matter expertise drawn from across the firm’s practices. Our attorneys have represented clients in a broad range of investigations conducted by both law enforcement and regulatory agencies involving securities, food and drug, tax, and antitrust matters.
In addition to outside enforcement, individuals and companies involved in white collar and government investigations also face significant internal pressures. We understand the impact these investigations have on our clients’ day-to-day businesses and take a practical approach in providing counsel that is sensitive to their continuing operations. For example, we design and implement compliance programs, conduct internal investigations, and provide business counseling and guidance.
Our breadth of experience is augmented by Zuckerman Spaeder’s use of state-of-the-art forensic technology. These tools enhance our ability to amass the thousands, or even millions, of pieces of documentary evidence that often exist in complex investigations.
