Rendings

Now more than ever, investigation and prosecution of business crime is a priority for state and federal officials. Because even perceived infractions may result in loss of productivity, assets, reputation, and even personal freedom, knowledgeable legal counsel and, when necessary, aggressive legal defense have become necessities of corporate survival.

The white collar defense team at Rendigs advises board members, trustees, executives, and entrepreneurs in all areas of white collar representation and civil cases involving allegations of criminal conduct. We vigorously defend during grand jury and other government investigations, and counsel clients before federal and state courts, the U.S. Department of Justice, and other federal and state agencies. We have significant experience in investigations and defense of:

• Business fraud
• Tax fraud
• Mail fraud
• Wire fraud
• Procurement fraud
• Computer crimes
• Money laundering
• Medicare, Medicaid, and insurance frauds
• Bank fraud
• Forfeiture matters (civil and criminal)

We represent corporate and individual clients in cases requiring the utmost discretion and procedural knowledge, maintaining active roles in all stages of the investigative process. Our team can assist in:

• Conducting employee interviews and review of business records as part of an internal investigation to determine the nature and extent of wrongdoing
• Consulting with management and/or the board of directors to assess the company's exposure to fines, penalties, or debarment
• Recommending and coordinating the work of outside counsel for representation of employees who may be targets or witnesses in the investigation
• Interpreting and applying the federal sentencing guidelines pertaining to business organizations
• Assisting businesses in responding to grand jury subpoenas for their business records
• Preparing employees to testify before a grand jury
• Negotiating with prosecutors for favorable disposition short of criminal prosecution

Allegations of white collar crime demands rational, yet forceful, defense. Contact us to learn your rights and discuss next steps. Of course, we handle all matters with complete discretion.
