OUR EXPERIENCE
When government investigations, whistleblower allegations, or corporate crises threaten a company’s leadership, operations, or reputation, clients turn to BurgherGray to take control of the situation quickly and strategically. Our White Collar Defense & Internal Investigations team includes a former federal prosecutor and experienced trial lawyers who represent corporations, executives, boards of directors, financial institutions, healthcare companies, nonprofits, and other organizations in high-stakes criminal, regulatory, and internal matters nationwide.
Our attorneys defend clients in investigations and enforcement actions involving the U.S. Department of Justice, SEC, FINRA, state Attorneys General, and other federal and state enforcement agencies. We regularly handle matters involving securities fraud, healthcare fraud, False Claims Act allegations, public corruption, antitrust investigations, money laundering, tax-related investigations, campaign finance issues, wire and mail fraud, obstruction allegations, and other complex corporate misconduct matters.
Clients often engage us before charges are filed or enforcement decisions are made. We guide companies and executives through subpoenas, grand jury investigations, search warrants, witness interviews, regulatory inquiries, and parallel civil and criminal proceedings, while managing the legal, operational, and reputational risks that accompany government scrutiny. We understand how prosecutors and regulators build cases because many of our attorneys previously served inside the government agencies now investigating our clients.
BurgherGray also conducts sensitive internal investigations for boards of directors, audit committees, executive leadership, and in-house counsel. We investigate allegations involving financial misconduct, whistleblower complaints, executive wrongdoing, accounting irregularities, employee theft, conflicts of interest, harassment and retaliation claims, data misuse, and compliance failures. Our investigations are designed not only to uncover facts, but to help clients regain control of rapidly evolving situations, make informed decisions, and position themselves effectively with regulators, stakeholders, and potential adversaries.
In addition to investigations and defense work, we provide practical, business-focused corporate compliance counseling tailored to today’s aggressive enforcement environment. We advise clients on compliance program development, whistleblower and escalation procedures, internal investigation protocols, document preservation obligations, executive and employee training, anti-retaliation safeguards, and regulatory response strategies. Our goal is straightforward: identify risk early, strengthen internal controls, and help clients avoid becoming the next enforcement headline.
Our attorneys have significant experience advising clients across highly regulated industries, including healthcare, pharmaceuticals, financial services, manufacturing, nonprofit organizations, and professional services. Whether responding to a government investigation, conducting an internal investigation, or counseling leadership through a corporate crisis, BurgherGray brings the judgment, credibility, and trial-ready experience clients need when the stakes are highest.
