Responsible corporate governance demands vigilant attention to the rule of law.
Godfrey & Kahn delivers the sound advice and judgment necessary to ensure such vigilance. We first work closely with our clients to implement effective compliance procedures that help prevent wrongdoing. In the event that a company suspects - or the government alleges - that the company has run afoul of the law, Godfrey & Kahn has experienced attorneys to ferret out the facts and, if necessary, to mount a vigorous defense for its clients in the criminal, regulatory and civil proceedings that often follow.
Godfrey & Kahn attorneys include several former criminal prosecutors, including a former Watergate prosecutor and former United States Attorney, former Assistant United States Attorneys and former state prosecutors. Other attorneys in our firm are highly regarded in subjects with direct application to the government investigations, white collar and compliance area, such as corporate governance, securities, health care, environmental law, antitrust, public corruption and campaign finance. Quite clearly, Godfrey & Kahn can draw upon a broad array of talent and resources when servicing clients on these important and sensitive matters.
