White Collar

Insider trading. Ponzi schemes. FCPA violations. Perjury. For companies in some industries, it gets harder and harder to draw a clear line between the crimes of a renegade individual and the complicity or negligence of the corporate entity. Meanwhile, public perceptions directly influence prosecutorial decisions, especially when the public at whose pleasure the prosecutor serves is intensely distrustful of the industry involved.

Levick’s White Collar team can work with accused individuals during high-profile criminal matters to make the best case possible to the government and to his or her peers. In other cases, the team works with companies, serving its best interests when employees or executives fall afoul of the law. We work seamlessly with legal counsel to exonerate the organization in court and among its critical stakeholders.

In today’s environment, all companies are at risk and an “it can’t happen here” attitude is improvident. Now is the time to create and disseminate guidelines that underscore the company’s absolute insistence on ethical and legal compliance. It’s Exhibit A for the defense.
