We have developed a highly successful practice defending clients facing government investigations.  We specialize in high-profile cases involving prominent public officials who face substantial professional and reputational jeopardy. 

​

We offer decades of experience in Washington D.C. working with federal agencies, litigating administrative and constitutional law issues, and factfinding expertise.  We also bring to bear political acumen and media experience developed from advising government officials and political candidates and appearing in the U.S. and international media.  These skill sets allow us to tackle politically sensitive matters, often involving complex or novel legal questions.  We have also begun conducting internal investigations for clients as well, again usually involving high-profile allegations of wrongdoing.
