We have successfully defended accounting firms, hedge funds, restaurants, software companies, and other businesses against allegations of fraud and other financial crimes, often starting before any charges have been filed. Our early intervention and aggressive strategy allows us to gather evidence when it matters the most. We interact with law enforcement and prosecutors from the earliest moment. Our early role in internal investigations into corporate financial misconduct, embezzlement or other types of financial crimes can often eliminate the threat of prosecution altogether.
We defended a major New York contractor under investigation for failure to pay prevailing wages under a New York City contract. Our investigation demonstrated that the discrepancy was far less than had been alleged and the business was able to continue its work without interruption.
We defended a major New York City hospital in a grand jury investigation conducted by the Brooklyn District Attorney’s Office. After months of parsing evidence and providing arguments to the prosecutors why no criminal activity had occurred, they finally agreed with us and dropped the investigation completely.
We defended a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation under investigation by the City of New York for fundraising activities it had organized to support a public school. By closely analyzing all of the finances associated with the school, we were able to demonstrate that no illegality had occurred and no charges were brought.
