White Collar Criminal Defense

In an age in which white collar criminal investigations and prosecutions are splattered on newspapers’ front pages, finding effective defense counsel is paramount.  McElroy Deutsch’s experienced white collar crime lawyers are renowned for their adept defense of individuals and corporations under investigation by the Department of Justice or other governmental agencies.

Our team at McElroy Deutsch includes litigators who bring with them experience as former government prosecutors and lawyers. Leveraging  their background and their aggressive representation, McElroy Deutsch's white collar criminal defense lawyers have been successful in keeping many clients from being charged and in avoiding publicity about investigations.  When unable to resolve such matters quietly, we have vigorously defended our clients in the courtroom.

Our law firm’s white-collar lawyers have represented individuals and companies in a vast array of criminal matters, including public corruption, health care, environmental, tax, banking, bribery, false claims, food and drug, campaign finance, ERISA, labor relations, RICO, trade secrets, perjury, false statements, obstruction of justice, money laundering, mail and wire fraud, and conspiracy.

In the context of pharmaceutical litigation, our white collar crime attorneys have defended and prosecuted commercial actions regarding improper billing practices, antitrust allegations, and wholesale pricing of drugs.

Our team of white collar lawyers has represented national and international corporations, American and foreign nationals, executives, and professionals in a wide range of criminal and near- criminal cases.  Our attorneys have conducted independent internal investigations, developed and instituted corporate compliance programs and as a result often have kept our clients from severe government sanctions and charges.

At the core of our white collar criminal defense practice is the unwavering belief held by our attorneys that their hard work and clever strategies are often the difference between our clients maintaining or losing their liberty.  This understanding fuels their dedicated and vigorous advocacy on behalf of our clients.
