Stoel Rives’ Government Investigations & White-Collar Crime attorneys are skilled in navigating the complexities of regulatory compliance, government investigations, and criminal defense matters. Our seasoned team is anchored by several former senior leaders from U.S. Attorney’s Offices throughout the West, as well as numerous former Assistant U.S. Attorneys. While we have a prominent presence and extensive ties in the Pacific Northwest, our reach and expertise extend nationally, allowing us to provide strategic counsel and vigorous defense in jurisdictions across the country.

We handle a variety of matters in state and federal court, including investment and securities fraud, federal program fraud, tax evasion, healthcare fraud, environmental violations, False Claims Act litigation, export enforcement and tariff compliance, and criminal antitrust enforcement. We offer counsel across various practices and industries necessary for comprehensive internal investigations and responses to both external and internal allegations of wrongdoing.

Our approach balances cooperation, negotiation, and litigation to best serve our clients’ needs. We develop and execute strategies to establish communication with investigators and represent clients at every stage of a matter, from initial agency inquiries and administrative proceedings to trial. We vigorously defend clients facing enforcement actions or criminal proceedings and guide them through all aspects of resolution. And while we work to achieve the closure of investigations and dismissal of charges whenever possible, we also guide clients through negotiated resolutions, trials, and appeals.

In all enforcement actions or criminal proceedings, we provide comprehensive defense services and manage external communications and public relations in high-profile cases.
