'Brown Rudnick’s white collar practice includes lawyers with a broad variety of specialties. For example, an attorney who was also highly skilled forensic accountant/CPA. This facilitated and strongly supported our case. Brown Rudnick seamlessly and effectively applied these and other legal professionals to our benefit.'
'Angela Papalaskaris became our trusted partner over the multiyear duration of our case. Her legal expertise, ability to effectively apply other trusted Brown Rudnick attorneys and staff, and her trusted advice and counsel was critical to us. She made herself available to us at all times, despite a challenging workload. She ensured that legal work products were of the highest quality and delivered on time. That level of support far exceeds support received from other firms.'
'The practice combines expertise, first-hand knowledge and understanding of authorities expectations across both US and Europe, and a very pragmatic approach to compliance. Their recommendations could easily translate into actionable plans.'
'I worked primarily with Steven Tyrell, who provided us with an excellent and high quality work. The task was to perform an overall assessment of our Compliance program vs FCPA requirements, which he did in a timely manner, with excellent interactions with our team (at all levels) and regular updates. The analysis was very valuable to us, very pragmatic, and enabled us to translate it very fast into action plans. On top of being very experienced (incl. first-hand knowledge of authorities expectations) and professional, Steven is also a very pragmatic and easy to do business with person. It was a sincere pleasure to work with him.'
'Their white collar team is excellent -- spearheaded by Stephen Best.'
'Excellent trial vision.'
