We are the market leaders in major financial and business centers globally and offer unmatched expertise and resources to help you grow from an intellectually curious self-starter into an exceptional lawyer. If you aspire to be the best, this is where you belong.
</div></div></div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader"><b>About the Practice Group
</b></h2><div><div><div>Latham&rsquo;s White Collar Defense &amp; Investigations Practice has earned a global reputation for consistently handling the most complex, highest-stakes investigations, trials, and enforcement matters.<br>
<br>
With a formidable roster of experienced defense lawyers, many of whom were senior prosecutors or government officials, we regularly navigate and resolve high-profile investigations on behalf of a wide range of corporations, financial institutions, boards of directors, and individuals. With a presence in all the major regulatory, financial, and commercial centers around the globe, we mobilize to address highly sensitive, complex regulatory issues that pose significant operational and reputational risks to clients. We navigate every crisis by integrating with our clients&rsquo; internal teams, and working to set a strategy that balances the relevant legal, operational, and reputational considerations.<br>
<br>
From winning headline-making trials, to investigating and defending against allegations related to financial fraud, market manipulation, bribery, corruption, cryptocurrency, sanctions, healthcare and other matters, to helping companies proactively prevent misconduct &mdash; we bring unsurpassed experience to such engagements.<br>
<br>
Judgment &mdash; informed by deep experience &mdash; often makes the difference early in a crisis, when seemingly minor decisions can cause unforeseen consequences. From a federal agent knocking at the door to surprise subpoenas to reputation defining allegations, we have successfully counseled myriad clients through a range of crises. Our first-hand experience conducting investigations and responding to government inquires around the world allows us to see around corners and help clients avoid pitfalls.<br>
<br>
Our global team features more than two dozen lawyers with significant prior government experience. Members include former high-ranking US government lawyers from both sides of the aisle who understand the inner workings of the government and regularly deliver results that dramatically reduce our clients&rsquo; legal, financial, and reputational exposure. Our lawyers&rsquo; longstanding relationships with regulators and prosecutors enable us to advocate effectively on behalf of clients. We resolve most matters discretely and on favorable terms, but always bring a trial-ready mindset backed by an outstanding trial record in the most difficult cases.<br>
