Discipline

Criminal Defence.

Trial advocacy in federal and state criminal matters and parallel enforcement.

We are instructed by individuals, executives, and corporates in federal and state criminal matters, grand-jury proceedings, internal investigations, and the parallel regulatory enforcement that increasingly accompanies them. Our practitioners include former prosecutors and senior trial advocates — counsel who have appeared on both sides of the enforcement question and who bring the trial-room judgement that significant criminal matters require.

Our criminal defence work is built around senior trial practitioners. We are instructed when the question is not only whether the matter can be defended, but how to manage the parallel regulatory and civil exposure that almost always accompanies the criminal proceeding. Our practitioners are routinely instructed in matters that touch financial regulation, sanctions, anti-corruption, and the sectoral regulators that shape modern white-collar enforcement.
