Within White-collar criminal defense , tier 5
With over two-thirds of its litigators focusing on white-collar and regulatory matters, Richards Kibbe & Orbe LLP has developed considerable experience within the field and provides ‘responsive, insightful and committed advice to its clients and is knowledgeable on some of the most complicated and difficult areas of the law’. Well integrated into the firm’s transactional practice, as well as attracting standalone work, the team picks up a regular pipeline of work from pre-existing clients, such as hedge funds who have sought compliance advice in light of increased regulatory scrutiny. Based out Washington DC and New York, the team is involved in ‘some of the most complex and difficult matters in the financial services area’, including its recent representation of a brokerage firm in connection with a CFTC investigation into LIBOR submissions by banks on the US dollar LIBOR panel. ‘One of the most effective white-collar defense lawyers in the bar’, New York-based practice leader Lee Richards was involved in the aforementioned matter and is ‘universally respected in the bar and by the government lawyers for his skills, his integrity and most significantly, his effectiveness’. Washington DC-based co-head Michael Mann is widely recognised as the “go-to” lawyer for clients in the international financial services sector. Praised for his ‘unparalleled command of the global regulatory environment’, Mann is currently representing several hedge funds in connection with investigations carried out by foreign regulators, including with respect to requests for mutual assistance through the US SEC’s Office of International Affairs. James Walker ‘very bright and knowledgeable younger partner’; MaryJeanette Dee ‘shows excellent judgment and knowledge of applicable laws and regulations’; Paul Leder ‘widely recognized as one of the best defense lawyers and counsellors in the bar’; and Shari Brandt are all well regarded.
