Corporate Compliance, Investigations & White Collar Defense

Archer’s Corporate Compliance, Investigations and White Collar Defense Group represents corporations, their officers and directors, as well as other highly placed or high-profile individuals in complex criminal cases, civil fraud cases, regulatory enforcement matters and internal investigations, and at every stage of the enforcement process. The attorneys in our group also have substantial experience investigating, analyzing and recommending courses of action for public agencies and governmental entities facing challenging issues which require independent analysis and evaluation to ensure that the public trust is preserved.

In government-facing matters, experience in prosecution is crucial. Members of our team have served in high-level positions within the government, including as long-term, skilled former prosecutors, accustomed to working on these types of issues. As a result, we have considerable experience in designing and implementing strategies to avert criminal charges.

At all times, our attorneys are acutely aware that our clients’ reputation and, where applicable, their interactions with their shareholders, regulators, and with the press, is crucial to their ability to remain profitable and to continue in their businesses. Ever mindful of this, we strive to minimize potentially negative public relations through swift action and strategy. However, where a trial is required to meet the needs of a client, our lawyers have a proven track record of success and  strive to achieve the best possible results, consistent with our clients’ needs.

Our experience in corporate investigations, government enforcement and white collar defense is wide ranging and diverse. We have represented clients before all of the major investigative agencies, governmental security groups, federal, state and local watchdog agencies and others.
