Lawyers in our Washington DC office advise clients across a wide range of the firm’s practice areas, with a particular emphasis on issues likely to arise in the nation’s capital.
Our Washington-based lawyers include members of our Financial Institutions, Securities Enforcement, White Collar Crime and Investigations, Tax and ERISA Groups. They counsel global financial institutions, Fortune 500 companies and leading non-U.S.-based multinationals with respect to complex financial regulatory matters and transactions. They also advise clients in SEC and Treasury enforcement actions, internal, grand jury and Congressional investigations, and in the creation, implementation and review of compliance programs.
In addition, our Washington-based lawyers represent clients before the FTC and the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice on the antitrust aspects of mergers and acquisitions, as well as in civil and criminal law enforcement investigations and private antitrust litigation.
Our Washington office has particular experience in the antitrust and securities laws, the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the U.S. trade and investment laws that apply to cross-border transactions, economic sanctions and anti-money laundering. Lawyers in this office have served in senior positions in the SEC, FTC, FCC, Departments of Justice, Treasury and State, and the White House.
Our Washington DC lawyers often work as an integrated team with our antitrust, financial regulatory lawyers and litigators in New York.
