White Collar

For the past 20 years, businesses and individuals have sought the advice of McLane to handle their complex and potentially damaging white collar and government investigations. Our attorneys have a successful track record in resolving many of these matters, without any formal charges. At McLane, we treat every regulatory or criminal matter with sensitivity and professionalism. When investigations result in enforcement actions, indictments or civil lawsuits, we have successfully defended our clients in state and federal courts, as well as before administrative agencies.

McLane attorneys regularly conduct internal corporate investigations and defend clients in False Claims Acts and whistleblower lawsuits, as well as in cases where the government alleges tax evasion, government contract fraud, bribery, computer fraud, bank fraud and many other areas.

Most government investigations, regardless of whether they result in formal charges, have many collateral consequences, which, if unforeseen, may have devastating long-term effects on business. McLane's White Collar Crime and Government Investigations Practice Group utilizes the expertise of the firm's other practice areas for detailed analysis in complex areas of the law to avoid the pitfalls that may occur due to government investigations.
