I assist clients with internal investigations, regulatory inquiries, grand jury matters, and criminal defense. I also litigate civil matters in state and federal courts. Financial Institutions Investigations I represent banks and broker-dealers in investigations by the Department of Justice, the SEC, FinCEN, and FINRA. I have substantial experience with the Bank Secrecy Act and FinCEN’s anti-money laundering regulations. Health Care, Life Sciences and False Claims Act Litigation I represent life sciences companies and health care providers in both internal matters and Department of Justice investigations. I have significant experience with the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback statute and the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Corporate Immigration Investigations I represent clients in corporate immigration investigations by the Departments of Justice, Homeland Security and State. I have been involved in some of the most significant investigations in this space.
