Greenberg Traurig’s Government Investigation attorneys have broad experience representing companies in a wide range of industries in government investigations. As government prosecutors, governmental entities, and enforcement agencies increasingly scrutinize business and regulatory decisions, our attorneys deliver out-of-the box strategies aimed at keeping our clients out of jeopardy and minimizing risk.
Our attorneys have counseled numerous companies on how to prepare for the potential of an agency or grand jury investigation by law enforcement, government, or regulatory authorities, including through the use of subpoenas and CIDs, requests for employee interviews or search warrants executed at company headquarters. We routinely assist clients and interact with law enforcement and regulatory authorities when such enforcement actions occur. Our lawyers regularly assist clients with assessing difficult situations by conducting effective and efficient internal investigations. Once key factual and legal issues have been identified and analyzed, we endeavor to resolve cases as quickly and cost-effectively as possible by engaging the government early in the process. We have broad experience negotiating non-prosecution, deferred prosecution, and plea agreements as well as administrative and civil consent orders and decrees. Our work has also included developing detailed policies and procedures for handling such situations as well as training key company employees most likely to have face-to-face interaction with law enforcement, along with the necessary preventative and reactive actions to undertake. We have the resources to analyze potential violations, determine an agency’s focus, and guide clients in developing and implementing appropriate responses.
