The White Collar Defense and Investigations Practice Group defends businesses, senior executives, public officials and other individuals in a wide range of investigations and prosecutions. The group is composed of more than 100 lawyers practicing across our U.S. and international offices and draws on the expertise of more than 75 of its members with extensive government experience.
Global Investigations Review ranked Gibson Dunn No. 1 in its 2020 GIR 30, its annual “ranking of the world’s best investigations practices,” for the third consecutive year. Who’s Who Legal named the firm its Investigations Firm of the Year at its 2019 Who’s Who Legal Awards. Benchmark Litigation Asia-Pacific 2020 ranked the firm in its Hong Kong White Collar Crime – International Firms category. Chambers and Partners also named Gibson Dunn the winner in the Corporate Crime & Government Investigations category at its 2018 USA Excellence Awards.
The American Lawyer named Gibson Dunn a Finalist in its 2022 Litigation Department of the Year competition, noting that “when news breaks and the pressure rises, clients call Gibson Dunn’s litigators to regain control.” This award follows our unprecedented four wins in this biennial competition. Gibson Dunn also was named a finalist for the White Collar/Regulatory Department of the Year, and in 2016 was the winner. Benchmark Litigation recognized Gibson Dunn as the White Collar/Enforcement/Investigations Firm of the Year at its 2017 U.S. Awards dinner, and Law360 named the firm a 2017 White Collar Practice Group of the Year.
Many cases involve simultaneous criminal, civil and regulatory actions arising out of the same events. To handle them, Gibson Dunn’s White Collar group draws on the full range of our skills and resources, collaborating with lawyers in other practice groups, allowing us to work with clients in almost every business sector in a wide array of substantive areas that includes:
Our areas of service include:
The White Collar Defense and Investigations group includes numerous former U.S. federal and state prosecutors and officials, many of whom served at high levels within the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission and other key investigative and prosecutorial arms of the government. Our lawyers use firsthand knowledge of how government agencies conduct investigations and prosecutions to assist our clients in navigating those processes successfully.
Our White Collar group teams with Gibson Dunn’s Crisis Management Practice to provide coordinated and efficient advice. The right response to a crisis requires a cohesive team equipped to immediately respond in an organized and strategic manner on multiple fronts, before issues become framed and fixed in the public mind. This requires interacting immediately and simultaneously with federal and local prosecutors, regulatory agencies, concerned investors and directors, the private plaintiffs’ bar, congressional investigators and the media.
Gibson Dunn’s lawyers always prepare for “x factors” that inevitably arise in such high-stakes and high-profile matters. We give legal and strategic advice for responding to crises both inside and outside the courtroom, and we have substantial experience operating in the public relations arena — a skill that has become essential to resolving the most serious and fast-moving white-collar legal challenges.
