Companies routinely face litigation threats from clients, customers, employees, executives and governmental agencies. “White-collar defense” captures a broad set of substantive areas of the law, all related to how local, state, federal, and foreign governments regulate businesses. The successful white-collar attorney possesses deep litigation experience in the areas of criminal defense, civil commercial litigation, and general business law.
When problems arise, corporations turn to litigators for assistance throughout the dispute resolution process. One of the attorney’s main functions is to anticipate and prepare for the potential trajectory of a white-collar case. Investigations often lead to criminal charges and civil lawsuits from aggrieved parties. This type of complexity demands for sophisticated counsel. White Collar cases routinely involve allegations of wire, mail, bank, and tax fraud as well as money laundering.
In New York City, the process occurs within multiple forums and across state lines, depending on the nature of the dispute. Corporations find themselves brought before federal courts, state courts, arbitration associations and administrative bodies.
The practice demands a particularly versatile lawyer who is able to deliver a range of services. Attorneys practicing in this area require a keen understanding of the legal, financial and political implications of proposed actions. Creative approaches are often necessary to tackle unique problems presented in today’s tumultuous litigation environment. White-collar litigation involves assessing victims’ damages and finding remedies to protect the client, their reputation, and their freedom. Successful litigators properly assess the merits of a dispute then customize a strategy fitting the needs of their client.
