Corporate Investigations / White Collar

Corporate America finds itself increasingly under the government's microscope. Dilworth's Corporate Investigations & White Collar Group counsels corporations and individuals to avoid trouble in the first place or, failing that, gets them out of trouble.

Who We Are

The Group has over twenty years of experience in all aspects of criminal matters, from conducting internal investigations to representing witnesses and targets in grand jury investigations to stewarding clients through parallel criminal and civil proceedings to trial and appeals. The Group, which includes former state and federal prosecutors, has considerable experience in evaluating – and obtaining relief from – the collateral consequences of corporate criminal investigations and convictions.

We have successfully represented companies and individuals against allegations of:

• Anti-Trust Violations
• Corporate Fraud
• Securities Fraud
• Defense Procurement Fraud
• Health Care Fraud
• Obstruction of Justice
• Official Misconduct
• Public Corruption
• Mail Fraud
• Tax Fraud

The Group handles investigations with the goal of avoiding charges or formal action. We know how to effectively collaborate with prosecutors and how to design creative solutions. Bottom-line, however, we are trial lawyers with no reluctance to "putting twelve in the box" and trying a case.

How We Practice

Dilworth's lawyers practice in virtually every area of law. The Group relies on that experience by assembling industry-specific teams to address client problems. We are confident that we have the experience to provide global solutions for the myriad problems that accompany criminal investigations.
