Government Enforcement

KKL is a leading trial boutique and white collar firm.  With a powerful team of experienced former prosecutors, we steer our clients through the most complex and most sensitive government investigations. Representing corporations, financial institutions, boards of directors, nonprofits, educational institutions, and individuals, we have achieved extraordinary results for clients around the globe.

We have decades of experience at the U.S. Department of Justice and have conducted and supervised hundreds of federal investigations and dozens of trials for the U.S. government. We have deployed that experience to help our clients engage with a wide variety of federal, congressional, state, and international criminal authorities and regulatory agencies, including the Department of Justice, House and Senate committees, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the New York Department of Financial Services, and state attorneys general.

We are agile and strategic. Working behind the scenes, we have helped targets avoid prosecution and have helped witnesses avoid becoming targets, often without the government investigation coming to light. We are elite trial lawyers, and we defend our clients in courtrooms and boardrooms across the country.

We have extensive experience navigating multijurisdictional investigations and have worked closely with enforcement counsel outside the U.S. Our depth of experience with cross-border investigations enables us to guide clients facing investigations in both the U.S. and elsewhere.

Recognized by Chambers as a Band 1 firm for white collar crime and government investigations, our experience spans the full range of complex enforcement matters, including insider trading, financial fraud, accounting fraud, tax fraud, market manipulation, healthcare fraud, False Claims Act violations, U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) violations, sanctions violations, cryptocurrency fraud, the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA), money laundering, public corruption, national security, and cybercrime.
