J. Nicholas Bunch

J. Nicholas Bunch is a Chambers-rated partner in Haynes Boone’s White Collar and Investigations practice. Described by peers and clients as “fantastic on all fronts” and “very good with clients, very knowledgeable and a great writer,” Nick brings an insider’s perspective on how the government investigates and prosecutes white-collar criminal and civil matters. Nick gained that unique perspective over nearly 11 years at the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Texas where he investigated, prosecuted, tried and supervised every type of white-collar case imaginable, including securities fraud, healthcare fraud, accounting fraud, tax, embezzlement, cybercrime, public corruption and intellectual property offenses. 

Nick’s deep and broad government experience makes him distinctively situated to represent professionals and corporate clients in high-stakes criminal and civil investigations. Nick understands how a government attorney approaches an investigation and knows how to actively stop it before it gains momentum and results in public charges against his clients. He also has an innate appreciation for the collateral consequences of white-collar matters, which often arise in multiple legal forums—criminal, civil, administrative, and regulatory—and understands how to successfully navigate each of those forums to provide his clients with a comprehensive resolution that minimizes the impact to their businesses and reputations.
