Practice Areas & Industries: Jones Day

Practice/Industry Group Overview

Federal and state prosecutors increasingly use criminal laws to regulate business conduct. As a result, individuals and corporations sometimes find themselves the subject of criminal investigations into alleged fraud arising from the regular conduct of their business. Often, prosecutors use broad concepts of fraud to characterize business conduct as criminal. Such investigations can arise out of a company's dealings with a broad array of third parties: vendors, customers, consumers, government agencies, clients, and any other entities with which the company must interact.

Regardless of the context in which a fraud investigation arises, Jones Day's clients can be assured that the Firm's CCI lawyers have defended similar cases. Decades of experience as defense attorneys and prosecutors have provided Jones Day with in-depth collective knowledge regarding the investigation and, if necessary, the trial of white-collar criminal cases.
