White-Collar / Business Crimes

Boies, Schiller & Flexner has a national white collar criminal defense practice defending individuals and corporations in investigations and trials, as well as in internal investigations.  Our lawyers have tried more than 135 criminal cases and their ranks include the former United States Attorneys for San Francisco and Las Vegas, and former prosecutors from the United States Attorney's Offices for the Eastern District of New York, the District of Nevada, the District of Arizona, the Southern District of Florida, the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice, and the New York County District Attorney's Office.

We represent defendants in prominent federal and state criminal cases, examples of which have included: United States v. Spano (bank fraud by former owner of the New York Islanders); United States v. Lauersen (insurance fraud by fertility doctors); United States v. Carucci (the New York Stock Exchange floor broker case); United States v. Gaito (securities fraud by an accountant); United States v. Credit Lyonnais (secret and unlawful control by French bank of a U.S. insurance company); People v. Meyers Pollock Robbins, Inc. and People v. A.S. Goldmen & Co., Inc. (the latter cases both securities fraud by brokerage firm and brokers).

Much of our success derives from our ability to convince prosecutors not to indict our corporate and individual clients.  These achievements include favorable outcomes in several Foreign Corrupt Practice investigations, securities law violation investigations, and accounting fraud investigations.
