Practice/Industry Group Overview
The federal government has made the prosecution of white-collar offenses a high priority for many years now. Federal sentencing guidelines are such that indictment and conviction for these offenses in nearly all cases means that individuals will be incarcerated and companies will suffer heavy financial and collateral penalties. Any federal criminal investigation is a matter of the utmost gravity because there is so much at stake. Caplin & Drysdale attorneys first developed familiarity with federal white-collar prosecution in the context of our extensive criminal tax practice. We have handled cases in many jurisdictions involving allegations of government procurement and program fraud, antitrust and securities offenses, mail fraud, wire fraud, customs violations, money laundering and campaign finance and public corruption investigations. In other instances, we have been engaged by companies, some not yet under governmental scrutiny, to conduct internal investigations of potential wrongdoing and report our results and recommendations to the appropriate corporate officials. Many of our white-collar representations have occurred in the context of parallel regulatory or civil proceedings.
