A global team handling highly complex and sensitive matters in all aspects of litigation.
WilmerHale has defended clients in hundreds of class, derivative, shareholder and individual actions alleging securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duty and other corporate misconduct.
Named an “FCPA Powerhouse” and “Practice Group of the Year,” we have been involved in some of the most notable public and non-public cases and key developments related to FCPA and anti-corruption issues.
WilmerHale has played a leading role in shaping the rules that govern the financial services industry in the United States.

Recent actions announced by the DOJ and SEC during the first quarter of 2016 suggest that this year may be a significant one for FCPA enforcement. These cases indicate that even as the DOJ has renewed its focus on individuals, it continues to pursue large cases with corporations—and that the SEC continues to broadly define a "thing of value" under the FCPA. These settlements also underscore the importance of having a strong and effective compliance program, as well as cooperating with the government during investigations.
