The Taylor Porter Investigations and White-Collar Defense team represents individual and corporate clients in complex criminal and civil litigation and enforcement cases throughout the country. We provide counsel throughout criminal investigations and court proceedings in both federal and state venues.
Often the best resolution of a criminal matter is achieved when no formal charges are ever brought, and our attorneys have experience in designing and implementing strategies during grand jury investigations to avoid indictments.
Covering the full range of white-collar issues, we are familiar with the regulators and enforcement authorities with whom our clients interact, and we regularly work with colleagues in our firm’s regulatory, compliance, corporate, and government affairs practices to assist clients.
Representative Experience:
- Counseling clients on appropriate ways to stave off investigations through proactive disclosures or responses to subpoenas issued by the Department of Justice (DOJ), state attorneys general, and other government agencies.
