- We defended a contractor who was under investigation for allegedly participating in a scheme to defraud the government of 2.5 million dollars. After an analysis by our forensic accountant, we were able to convince federal agents to drop their case against our client and instead focus on other individuals.
- We defended a telecommunications executive charged with participating in a bribery scheme involving kickbacks to vendors. By focusing on the details and examining all of the various invoices and payments, we were able to demonstrate that the vast majority of questioned transactions were legitimate. Most charges were dismissed and our client resumed his business.
- We defended a prominent California businessman in an FBI investigation into the bribery of high-ranking Azerbaijani officials in violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. After conducting a detailed investigation, we presented such compelling evidence to the government that the prosecutor abandoned the case before our client was ever indicted.
- We defended a Canadian charged in New York Federal Court with money laundering in the United States. After convincing the federal prosecutor to reduce the charge to a banking violation, our client returned home to Canada.
