Government Investigations Attorneys in Maryland, Virginia and Washington DC
This Shulman Rogers team has guided clients to successful conclusions in hundreds of matters. We have represented individuals and companies in government investigations and civil and criminal litigation involving the SEC, FINRA, the DOJ, the PCAOB and other regulatory and criminal authorities. We are the only law firm with two former Assistant Directors from the PCAOB. We have the skill, experience, and temperament to resolve serious issues, often without recourse to expensive litigation. When intensive litigation is the best approach, we custom-tailor the best defense — and sustain that defense to a final resolution.
Our senior lawyers have experience as senior federal prosecutors, investigators, and regulators. We understand the politics, policies, strategies and tactics of the SEC, the DOJ, PCAOB, FINRA, DoD, CFTC, FTC, and other authorities. The senior lawyers on our team chose to join forces at Shulman Rogers so that we can focus on our clients and on obtaining the best possible outcome. The Shulman Rogers culture (and rate structure) allows us to defend investigations strategically and to litigate – when necessary – aggressively and effectively. Regulators and prosecutors know that we will litigate when the situation demands. Corporate boards of directors and officers trust our judgment and recommendations in conducting internal corporate investigations.
Our team takes challenging facts, advocates aggressively and secures favorable outcomes – cost-effectively. We consistently resolve matters involving allegations of insider trading, FCPA violations, financial and accounting fraud, FDA violations, bribery, extortion and government contract matters, including investigations, export controls, False Claims Act defenses, Inspector General inquiries, whistleblower protection, and suspension and debarment proceedings. We successfully defend parties in white-collar criminal investigations by federal and state authorities, and civil and regulatory investigations by securities regulators, stock exchanges and capital markets self-regulatory organizations.
