Working with Government Agencies in White Collar Law: Leading Lawyers on Responding to Investigations, Overcoming Client Challenges, and Understanding Enforcement Trends (Inside the Minds)

Working with Government Agencies in White Collar Law is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for interacting with government agencies when a client is facing a criminal investigation. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the different phases of a white collar case, describe the government's role, and outline how to develop an appropriate response at each phase. These top lawyers reveal their advice on how to prepare the client for his or her responsibilities during the case, how to avoid common client mistakes early on during communications with government agents, and how to best approach interactions with prosecutors and major federal agencies, such as the FBI and IRS. Additionally, these leaders discuss recent legal developments and enforcement trends, explain the expanding role of technology in criminal and civil proceedings, and outline compliance and defense best practices for corporate clients. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this ever-evolving area of law.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts.
