The Legal 500 U.S. 2021 Our White Collar Defense and Corporate Investigations Practice has decades of experience representing clients in their most sensitive matters. Our team is made up of trial lawyers with national reputations and includes former federal and state prosecutors and regulators, national security specialists and experienced investigators. We vigorously defend companies and individuals in criminal and civil enforcement matters, we conduct and defend complex investigations for companies and their Boards of Directors, and we advise businesses on risk management and compliance. We also help our clients navigate crises that can threaten their businesses and reputations. "The Baker Botts team brings to the table enormous real-life experience with these areas, well above my experience with other law firms." The Legal 500 U.S. 2021 Our Philosophy: Every case is different, requiring different skill sets and experience. We are forward-thinking and we are strategic in our approach to each matter, drawing on the strength and depth of our bench to find solutions, to position our clients to implement their objectives, and to defend their interests and their legal rights while minimizing collateral consequences that may arise. Who We Represent: Companies and individuals. We represent businesses, Boards of Directors, independent committees, executives, public officials, employees and others facing allegations of conduct that implicate federal, state and other national laws. We also represent companies who are assessing their own compliance with applicable laws through risk assessments or in response to a whistleblower complaint, government inquiry, audit finding or other red flag. What We Do: We work to solve problems. Our cases are wide ranging in subject matter and scope, including allegations of fraud (accounting, securities, bank, healthcare, procurement, immigration), corruption (bribery, gratuities, kickbacks, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), UK Bribery Act), antitrust, money laundering, U.S. sanctions and export controls, work place safety violations, and many others. How We Do It: Teamwork, experience and targeted strategies. We work closely with our clients to understand their goals and limitations, and we work to implement their specific objectives — whether they are to investigate facts and evaluate disclosure, address a whistleblower complaint, litigate a qui tam action, remediate problems internally, monitor for compliance, defend an individual before U.S. or foreign government regulators, negotiate with the government, defend against criminal problems when they arise or to take a case to trial. We work as a team and find the best resources to support our clients. We anticipate issues to avoid surprises, manage against the unexpected and proactively address external forces that could impact cases, such as negative media attention, civil claims or whistleblower claims. We think outside the box to find creative, efficient solutions to problems that keep our clients up at night. Contacts Alex J. Bourelly Partner Kyle Clark Partner William H.
