Labaton Sucharow has represented corporate executives and other professionals in criminal and related civil matters arising in a variety of industry sectors, including securities, construction and professional services.  We have defended clients in actions brought in federal and state courts across the country, as well as before regulatory and self-regulatory organizations such as the National Association of Securities Dealers and the New York Stock Exchange.  We have also litigated before our nation’s highest court in the landmark insider trading case, Chiarella v. United States.

We have experience defending clients against allegations of antitrust violations, bribery and extortion, bank fraud, mail and wire fraud, securities fraud, tax fraud, and money laundering, as well as false records and RICO claims.  In addition, we have represented clients in related civil actions involving accusations of regulatory violations and professional misconduct, including securities fraud claims brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and stockholders.

In an arena where battle-hardened experience is crucial, we offer clients rare trial capabilities.  We have tried cases in federal and state courts for more than 30 years and have a successful record of examining witnesses, presenting powerful arguments to juries and developing strong summations.  Firm lawyers have a long history of successful negotiations with federal and state prosecutors and other government authorities.

With each case, we work to prevent indictments and minimize the impact of criminal charges.  Our goal is to help every client successfully navigate what in many instances is the most difficult period of their lives.  We bring an uncommon level of devotion to every white collar crime matter that we take on.  We make each client’s case a top priority from start to finish, and are available to the client around the clock.
