PRACTICE AREAS
Government Investigations and Crisis Management
An effective response to regulatory and criminal investigations requires a high level of legal expertise as well as deep knowledge and experience in administrative and criminal procedures. Our accomplished lawyers, who are particularly well-versed in these practice areas, form dedicated teams to provide timely and practical advice from the beginning of every case.
Furthermore, businesses demand a comprehensive crisis management response to serious incidents arising from corporate activities, including violations of the law by directors or employees, accounting fraud, quality control issues, information leakage, attacks by anti-social forces, and negative campaigns by protest groups and the media. Our firm provides broad support in addressing these critical matters, from conducting internal investigations and assisting in the establishment of third-party committees and compliance programs, to implementing public relations measures and managing related lawsuits.
