Overview
Businesses or individuals faced with a government investigation, indictment, or trial need rapid, creative, and sound legal advocacy. Lowenstein Sandler's white collar defense team draws on a deep well of collective knowledge enhanced by battle-tested experience to safeguard our clients' reputations and protect their futures.
The group includes six former federal prosecutors with career experience at the Department of Justice and the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York and District of New Jersey. Additionally, the group includes a former New Jersey Attorney General, and a former New Jersey State Comptroller. Our in-depth understanding of governmental agencies lends the practice a strong advantage in investigations brought by the DOJ, US Attorneys’ Offices, the SEC, the IRS, OFAC, DDTC, BIS, state attorneys general, and other regulatory bodies.
Our white collar lawyers are tirelessly committed to successful outcomes. We represent large corporations, boards of directors, and audit committees, and we dedicate equal passion and attention to individuals such as directors and officers of public and private corporations and investment professionals. Areas of focus include the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA); criminal antitrust; health care, securities, and tax fraud; internal investigations; political corruption; and regulatory compliance.
The team is a front runner in white collar litigation, with significant capability in the healthcare, criminal antitrust and FCPA spaces and has an excellent track record of favorable results. While we're proud of our reputation at trial, we're also aware that white collar allegations are often tried in the court of public opinion. Our lawyers know when to fight and when to keep clients out of court, and some of our greatest successes are the nonpublic resolutions we achieve in extremely sensitive matters.
