Regulatory scrutiny from federal and state authorities continues to increase in intensity and complexity, posing significant risk for all businesses, and particularly businesses interacting with consumers. Even sophisticated and well-intentioned businesses can all too easily run afoul of shifting government regulations and enforcement priorities, resulting in harsh penalties and reputational damage.
In this environment, businesses need a trusted advisor to guide their regulatory compliance efforts, and when necessary, to zealously defend them in enforcement actions. With the increase in multi-agency and multi-jurisdictional investigations and enforcement activity, it is critical that your counsel can both anticipate and effectively respond to the ever-evolving regulatory landscapes in all 50 states and at the federal level, and to help them achieve their business goals.
Our Regulatory Investigations, Strategy + Enforcement group is a multi-disciplinary team of more than 45 attorneys with decades of experience crafting effective strategies to help deter or mitigate the risk of enforcement actions and litigation. Many previously served in leadership positions in those same federal and state regulatory agencies, and we prioritize maintaining strong, professional bipartisan relationships with government regulators. This unique insight helps us anticipate which direction the regulatory winds are blowing, and combined with our legal acumen, allows us to develop comprehensive and thorough strategies for clients across multiple industry sectors.
Our team prepares compliance risk assessments and designs compliance programs that best position clients to limit enforcement risks; conducts internal investigations into allegations of misconduct; and counsels and defends companies and executives ensnared in government investigations and related litigation. From alcohol, tobacco, and cannabis to financial services, consumer products, and consumer privacy, we advise and defend clients on the full range of federal and state regulatory compliance and enforcement actions.
