The White Collar Defense & Investigations practice blends relevant government experience, deep understanding of the complex laws and enforcement trends that impact our clients, and an appreciation for the sensitivity and urgency of these matters. We’re routinely called upon by leading US and international corporations, across a number of industries, to engage with and advocate before government authorities, and to help manage the reputational consequences associated with these matters.
Most of the attorneys in our practice have come to Milbank after significant terms of government service, including senior leadership roles at the SEC and US Attorney’s Office. We draw on this experience in representing high-profile institutions and individuals facing a broad array of criminal and civil allegations.
Government investigations—we represent clients in criminal and civil investigations and enforcement actions involving the securities, commodities, banking and financial service industries, as well matters involving allegations of antitrust violations, bribery and corrupt practices, money laundering, data security and privacy breaches, and sanctions violations.
Regulatory and court proceedings—we represent clients in interviews and testimony before US and international regulators and clients in court proceedings and at trial. Many of the attorneys in our practice are experienced trial attorneys.
Corporate internal investigations—we bring deep experience and rigor to helping our clients, including companies and committees of boards of directors, conduct critical internal investigations as well as by providing advice on remediation of legal violations and corporate governance issues.
