Our firm has for decades successfully defended accounting, consulting and law firms; international networks and their professionals; corporations; and corporate officers and directors in civil and criminal state and federal court trials and appeals, regulatory investigations, administrative hearings and government enforcement proceedings, and in ADR forums such as arbitration and mediation. We have extensive experience advocating for clients before the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB), the IRS, the U.S. Department of Justice, and licensing boards and disciplinary agencies throughout the United States.
Our team has successfully handled numerous high-profile securities class actions and professional liability matters. Our team’s advice goes beyond U.S. regulations. We have extensive experience in the international arena. Our international practice includes defending foreign clients in regulatory and litigation proceedings in the United States — often in connection with proceedings by foreign regulators — and providing advice on cross-border discovery and international rules and restrictions, such as the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the U.K.’s Criminal Finances Act 2017. We have represented foreign clients in Africa, Asia, Australia, Canada, Europe and South America. In France, as in the United States, Kramer Levin represents leading professional services firms in litigation, regulatory investigations and government proceedings.
