With nearly 70 offices globally, we have worked on white-collar crime and investigations involving matters of theft, fraud, dishonesty, money laundering and insider dealing which span multiple jurisdictions. In recent years, we have acted in some of the largest, most high profile cases in this arena with skill and discretion.
