Government Investigations


Jacobson Lopez regularly defends companies, firms, and financial institutions during criminal, regulatory, multi-lateral development bank and congressional investigations. We draw on our experience as federal prosecutors – including in the Criminal Division of Main Justice and the Miami U.S. Attorneys Office,– and our years of in-house and private practice expertise. This blend of experience provides clients with a balanced perspective and well-rounded approach to critical questions faced during government investigations. We understand how federal criminal enforcement authorities operate at the highest levels and how they interact with other regulatory and enforcement authorities, both domestically and abroad.

We handle our clients’ matters, most of which are extremely sensitive, discreetly and with the goal of reducing reputational and legal exposure. Our guidance begins with developing a framework under which the client understands its potential exposure and proposing a bespoke strategy aimed at what we expect to be the regulators’ key concerns.
