Internal & Government Investigations

We regularly handle compliance investigations for a financial services provider across a broad range of business activities, investigating and advising on potential government fraud, vendor fraud, customer fraud, and internal audit issues on a continuing basis.

We represented a non-U.S. consulting company that uncovered evidence of invoice fraud by a principal of one of its U.S. customers. We conducted the internal investigation, coordinated with the customer’s own investigation, and negotiated a resolution between the two companies — navigating complex cross-border legal questions and ensuring our client made necessary disclosures without assuming liability in the process.

We represented an audit committee requiring an urgent review of financial mismanagement allegations while a nine-figure financing was in progress. We delivered an oral report within four days of our engagement, and a written report within seven, concluding that the allegations were unsubstantiated and allowing the financing to proceed on schedule.

We served as counsel to a company facing a multi-year joint criminal and civil investigation by the Department of Justice and Commodity Futures Trading Commission. Our team conducted a comprehensive internal investigation into the alleged conduct and delivered multiple presentations to the government. Both the DOJ and CFTC closed their investigations without pursuing charges or enforcement actions.
