A government investigation poses a unique combination of challenges and risks. Freeborn’s White Collar Defense and Investigations team provides steady, experienced counsel to help you navigate this difficult terrain when the stakes are at their highest. Whether the situation calls for out-of-the-box thinking, credibility with government regulators, or a staunch courtroom defender, we are here for you.

Our team includes former federal and state prosecutors, including a former U.S. Attorney in Chicago. That experience provides valuable insight into how regulators and law enforcement officials see the world. We harness this insight to craft the strategy best suited to your particular circumstances, be it cooperation with government agencies or a more forceful approach. With a wealth of trial experience, we also stand ready to defend you in the courtroom when necessary.

Our experience encompasses a wide range of white collar matters, including in the areas of antitrust, mail and wire fraud, health care fraud, the export control laws, cybercrime, commercial bribery, the False Claims Act, environmental law, conspiracy, and public corruption. We have represented individuals and organizations as victims, witnesses, targets of investigations, and criminal defendants. We have handled internal investigations across a variety of industries.

Our team has the ability to leverage the resources of a full-service firm. When warranted, we are able to draw upon the skills of our colleagues in Freeborn’s other practice areas, including labor and employment, intellectual property, environmental, and corporate law. With the Firm’s deep bench of civil litigators, we are well positioned to handle matters that have both civil and criminal aspects.
