Compliance and Enforcement
We advise U.S. and multinational corporations on a wide range of domestic and international compliance issues. We also represent companies and individuals in U.S. civil and criminal enforcement matters before federal agencies and congressional committees and in judicial and administrative proceedings, in particular those brought by the U.S. Department of Justice and Securities and Exchange Commission. We have particular expertise in compliance and enforcement matters relating to international business practices such as those involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("FCPA"), export controls, trade sanctions, and securities enforcement.

We have substantial expertise in conducting internal investigations, advising on business transactions, and counseling companies and individuals on compliance and corporate governance matters. We have defended civil and criminal enforcement matters involving securities fraud, the FCPA, trade sanctions, federal procurement fraud and qui tam litigation, healthcare fraud, economic espionage, money laundering, and Sarbanes-Oxley whistleblower allegations. We have represented issuers, officers and directors, and accounting firms in numerous investigations by the SEC, including allegations of fraud under sections 10(b) and 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We also have significant experience assisting clients in benchmarking and drafting corporate compliance programs.

Our compliance and enforcement team consists of former federal prosecutors and other high-level federal attorneys, including two former Assistant Directors at the Securities and Exchange Commission, several Assistant U.S. Attorneys, and trial attorneys from the DOJ’s Criminal and Tax Divisions. The lead attorney in the group, Martin J. Weinstein, was named by Ethisphere Magazine as one of the "100 Most Influential People in Business Ethics for 2007." Mr. Weinstein also has ranked annually in Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business as among the leading individuals practicing in the areas of white-collar crime and government investigations as well as in FCPA matters. Gregory S. Bruch is recognized as a leading attorney in the area of securities law regulation in the 2009 edition of The Best Lawyers in America and the 2008 edition of Chambers USA.

Our clients include Fortune 500 companies and other leading businesses and individuals in the aerospace/defense, automobile, financial, infrastructure, manufacturing, media, oil and gas, oilfield services, petrochemical, pharmaceutical/medical devices, retail, and telecommunications industries.
