Trial Lawyers First.

We take on a small number of high-stakes matters, and the lawyers you hire are the lawyers who try the case. While the areas below represent our deepest experience, we recognize cases themselves are often more complicated than a single label suggests. They require lawyers who understand complex issues and have the skills to resolve them.

01

Civil Litigation

High-stakes business disputes in state and federal courts, before domestic and international arbitral panels, and in foreign courts. Contract and partnership disputes, fraud and fiduciary claims, class and derivative actions, and real estate and construction litigation.

Representative matters
  • Obtained a complete defense verdict for a national engineering and construction services company on a $14.5 million negligence claim, following a four-week jury trial, affirmed on appeal.
  • Represented several national and regional homebuilders in state and federal litigation over allegedly defective Chinese-manufactured drywall, including In re Chinese-Manufactured Drywall Products Liability Litigation, MDL No. 2047 (E.D. La.). After that litigation resolved favorably, the principal manufacturer retained the firm to resolve the remaining homeowner claims against it.
02

Criminal Defense

Federal and state indictments, grand jury subpoenas, extradition and national security cases.

Representative matters
  • Represented a management-level employee of a Fortune 100 global retailer in a global investigation by the Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and foreign law enforcement into possible Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations.
  • Represented a business executive in a matter involving allegations that a U.S. publicly traded company violated the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act by paying bribes to foreign government officials.
03

Government Enforcement Actions

Grand jury subpoenas, civil investigative demands, SEC and administrative subpoenas, and agency investigations, civil and criminal, often running on both tracks at once. We deal with the agency directly, narrow what has to be produced, and where the facts allow it, resolve the matter before anything is filed.

04

Internal Investigations & Compliance

The most damaging version of a government investigation is the one a company learns about from the government. We investigate from within, for companies and for their boards and audit and compliance committees, advise on whether and what to disclose, and then build the compliance program that keeps the next one from happening.

  • Represented the compliance committee of a large Florida hospital in an internal investigation after a board member raised concerns about potential violations of federal health care laws.
05

Health Care

Hospitals, Medicare Advantage MSOs, pharmacies, laboratories, physicians, and executives. Government fraud investigations, False Claims Act and qui tam litigation, licensure and exclusion proceedings, and the growing volume of fraud and overbilling suits brought by insurers themselves.

06

Receiverships & Court Appointments

When a court needs a fiduciary rather than an advocate, it appoints us. Receiver, special master, and liquidator appointments in federal court, counsel to fiduciaries administering distressed and disputed estates, and representation of parties with claims inside a receivership.
