Corporate Compliance and Internal Investigations

Mintz Levin litigators include former senior prosecutors and seasoned defense counsel.  We have extensive experience conducting prompt and thorough internal investigations on behalf of public, non-profit, and private companies at the behest of general counsels, boards of directors, and independent audit committees. 

We’ve investigated a wide range of sensitive matters, including alleged financial and accounting regularities, bribery, inadequate and misleading SEC disclosures, antitrust violations, foreign corrupt practices, embezzlement, and obstruction of justice.  Our goal is to efficiently find and fix problems with a minimum of disruption to ongoing business operations.  Where appropriate, we devise remedial strategies and collaborate with law enforcement organizations to redress wrongs and minimize adverse impact to the corporation. 

We also advise clients on the design and implementation of effective corporate compliance programs to deter and detect conduct which could lead to corporate liability in today’s intense regulatory environment.  We combine the substantive expertise of our many practice areas with practical advice tailored to the particular industry and unique needs of each business entity.  In sum, we help companies  avoid future costly criminal investigations, civil litigation, and administrative proceedings.
