Practice/Industry Group Overview
The Role of the White Collar and Government Enforcement Practice Group
The attorneys in Saul Ewing's White Collar and Government Enforcement Practice Group represent corporate and individual clients in government investigations, enforcement proceedings, and litigation. We defend those accused of crime in the course of occupational activities, civil fraud proceedings, and regulatory enforcement matters. Our attorneys also provide compliance counseling to companies in regulated industries.
Well-Versed Legal Team: Insider's Perspective
Among the key players in Saul Ewing's White Collar and Government Enforcement Practice Group are several former federal prosecutors and a former United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Because our attorneys have been government prosecutors, we understand the way prosecutors view cases, and the investigative tools they use. We can anticipate and are prepared for legal issues that might arise, including those that come up suddenly, such as:
- Search warrants
- Interrogations
- Subpoenas
Regulatory Issues: Keeping Up To Date
In business arenas that are subject to governmental regulations, a thorough understanding of the regulatory environment is vital to effectively counsel and defend alleged regulatory offenses. Our attorneys stay abreast of the changing regulatory issues in heavily regulated industries. For example, we provide counsel and representation to clients in industries such as:
- Defense
- Healthcare
- Financial services
- Pharmaceuticals
- Insurance
We defend allegations of regulatory offenses in connection with securities, banking, environmental law, government contracts, food and drug, tax and antitrust law.
Compliance: Sophisticated Strategies
Saul Ewing's White Collar and Government Enforcement attorneys evaluate clients' potential compliance risks and devise strategies to mitigate consequences. We also perform internal investigations for clients in response to governmental inquiries, whistleblower allegations, and company concerns about wrongdoing. Should formal charges of business crimes or regulatory offenses be filed, we represent clients at trial or resolve the situation through negotiation.
