Clients and peers have recognized Haynes Boone’s ability to navigate sensitive government investigations and achieve excellent outcomes, often resulting in no charges or enforcement against the client or its officers, directors, executives, and employees.  Whether the government calls you a target, a subject, or a witness, Haynes Boone’s team knows how to efficiently and effectively dig into the facts, understand your role in the matter, and properly navigate the government’s investigation.  The breadth of Haynes Boone’s deep bench of experienced white-collar attorneys allows them to see the full playing field, as often times a criminal investigation is only one aspect of a government investigation – and positions taken in a criminal investigation have an impact in civil investigations, civil litigation, and other regulatory matters.  Haynes Boone’s integrated team of experienced attorneys routinely navigates parallel regulatory and civil enforcement matters and private litigation.
