(Leading lawyers: Corporate investigations and white-collar criminal defense: advice to corporates)With a deep bench of former senior enforcement officials among its attorneys, Kirkland & Ellis LLP covers the full gamut of corporate investigations and white-collar criminal defense. The practice is popular with corporations and their C-suite executives alike, and enjoys a strong market reputation for matters such as securities and futures enforcement, anti-corruption, environmental crimes, and sanctions enforcement. Practice heads Mark Filip and Asheesh Goel split their time between Chicago and Washington DC and are both a popular choice for clients within the financial services sector. In Washington DC, Brigham Cannon‘s strengths lie in FCPA and False Claims Act matters alongside securities law. The firm bolstered its expertise in the first half of 2022 with the arrival of Lindsey Beran and Steve Fahey in Dallas, who both previously served as Assistant US Attorneys for the Northern District of Texas, as well as former Eastern District of New York US Attorney Jacquelyn Kasulis in New York.
