White collar criminal defense uniquely involves the highest stakes, requiring seasoned lawyers with decades of experience defending and creatively resolving sensitive investigations and prosecutions. Lowenstein Sandler’s White Collar Criminal Defense practice defends corporate and private clients in criminal and regulatory matters in federal and state courts in New Jersey and around the country. We also conduct internal investigations and create and implement corporate compliance programs for public and private corporate clients.
Our group comprises five former federal prosecutors. We have been involved in virtually every major securities fraud prosecution in the District of New Jersey over the past 20 years, as well as numerous other significant criminal prosecutions throughout New Jersey and elsewhere. Our attorneys have served as lead counsel in many high-profile prosecutions nationwide involving securities fraud, insider trading, tax violations, antitrust violations, bank fraud, environmental violations, foreign corrupt practices, government procurement violations, insurance fraud, racketeering, and political corruption, to name a few. We are renowned in the white collar area, having written and lectured extensively on a variety of topics, and our attorneys receive top honors from the Chambers USA: America’s Leading Lawyers for Business and the Best Lawyers in America.
Lowenstein Sandler has a proven track record of obtaining highly favorable outcomes in prosecutions—for example, obtaining acquittals of business executives charged with antitrust and other violations; successfully defending public and private companies in securities fraud cases, individuals and accounting firms in high-profile tax fraud cases, and high-ranking government officials in public corruption cases; and successfully representing corporate officials and entities otherwise subject to grand jury investigations or facing criminal trial. We also represent professionals, such as lawyers, accountants, doctors, dentists, and pharmacists, whose professional licenses and livelihoods are jeopardized by criminal prosecution or potential criminal charges.
Some of our greatest successes, however, are the nonpublic resolutions we achieve in extremely sensitive matters. By working with clients and prosecuting authorities to resolve matters before charges are filed, we help many clients avoid criminal prosecution and the devastating publicity and other negative consequences that follow. Our broad experience also allows us to address and defend what often are multifaceted criminal, civil, and/or regulatory attacks. Our attorneys represent clients in parallel civil suits and regulatory matters that often accompany criminal investigations and prosecutions, such as civil fraud and securities matters, including those prosecuted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), civil forfeiture proceedings, and civil cases brought under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO).
