When corporations, officers, directors and business executives face federal or state investigations and enforcement actions, the experienced attorneys in Seyfarth Shaw’s Fraud Prevention & White Collar Criminal Defense practice help to bring them the peace of mind that they need to navigate these sensitive circumstances. 

Many of our attorneys have logged long careers as state and federal prosecutors, and bring the confidence and necessary background to work through the most challenging situations. Our attorneys, several of whom were high-ranking prosecutors with the criminal divisions of the U.S. Department of Justice and U.S. Attorneys’ offices, can help our clients manage the risks of fraud and respond to allegations of gross misconduct, whether before a grand jury or during a law enforcement investigation.

In addition to defending clients, our attorneys have represented clients who have been victims of misconduct and fraud.  For instance, we recently successfully helped prosecutors on three continents prosecute co-conspirators in a major investment fraud and money-laundering scheme in which our client was a victim.

With many years of experience as both prosecutors and defense attorneys, we have a broad and deep understanding of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organization Act (RICO), Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), domestic bribery, embezzlement, healthcare fraud and qui tam whistleblower suits, bank and securities fraud, money laundering, criminal antitrust and environmental crime.

Throughout all of our engagements, we work hard to ensure that our clients maintain their privacy and reach positive, proactive outcomes.
