White Collar Defense &
Investigations

Greenberg Traurig’s White Collar Defense & Investigations Practice comprises over 70 practitioners around the world who are prepared to tackle whatever challenges arise, whenever they arise. The team includes over 60 former prosecutors from U.S. and non-U.S. enforcement agencies, with a wide array of experience and intimate knowledge of the highest levels of federal and state government. Over the past 10 years, our White Collar Defense & Investigations lawyers have served as first chair on over 180 cases. 

Leveraging the insights and experience of our government affairs colleagues, industry experts, compliance professionals, and litigators throughout the firm, we defend companies and their executives and boards before every major enforcement agency. We handle highly technical, complex cases involving significant exposure for financial institutions, companies, and their executives, including criminal and civil enforcement matters against federal and state authorities and regulators involving high-profile financial fraud. For example, our team won the first-ever acquittal in a federal criminal spoofing trial.

We handle matters related to:

• Anti-Corruption Enforcement and Compliance
• Antitrust and Cartels
• Blockchain, digital assets, and fintech
• Government Investigations
• Environmental Violations
• Data, Privacy, and Cybersecurity
• Cryptocurrency Enforcement
• False Claims Act and Qui Tam Defense
• Health Care and Fraud Abuse
• Money Laundering and Bank Secrecy Act
• Sanctions and Export Controls
• Securities, Financial Institution and Accounting Fraud
• Tax Fraud

As government prosecutors and enforcement attorneys increasingly scrutinize business and regulatory decisions, our attorneys deliver out-of-the box strategies aimed at keeping our clients out of jeopardy. And when the government is determined to move forward with criminal or civil enforcement, we stand ready with an arsenal of diverse trial and complex litigation experience against a myriad of government authorities, including the U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Attorneys' Offices, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), and State Attorneys General.
