White Collar and Government Investigations

Montgomery McCracken’s White Collar and Government Investigations Practice is a highly experienced group of attorneys providing extensive experience in a wide range of proceedings, including criminal matters, internal investigations, fraud-related civil litigation, negotiations with government authorities, and compliance counseling.

The practice is led by former prosecutors with the United States Department of Justice and seasoned defense lawyers. Due to this strong background, our team responds efficiently and effectively to a myriad of circumstances where significant liberty and financial interests are at stake. In addition to representing corporate and individual clients, our attorneys offer a wide range of programs that educate clients on how to comply with applicable laws and avoid potential violations.

Our lawyers have experience in matters such as:

  • Corporate internal investigations
  • Enforcement of antitrust, environmental, healthcare, securities, and tax laws
  • Mail and wire fraud investigations
  • False Claims Act matters
  • Public corruption matters
  • Fraud-related civil litigation
  • Development of internal compliance programs

Our attorneys also work energetically to protect each client’s all-important public image. As a result of this dedication, we can often help mitigate the collateral effects of an investigation, whatever the legal outcome.
