COMPLIANCE AND INVESTIGATIONS: DESCRIPTION

Companies in every industry are legally accountable for failure to comply with compliance regulations. Whether your situation requires establishing controls to prevent potential violations or responding to criminal investigations, McKenna Long & Aldridge LLP is prepared to address any compliance issue or need.

We have a unique firm with the ideal mix of corporate, international trade, government contracts, white-collar defense, and government affairs capabilities – our skills, experience, and multidisciplinary approach place us at the intersection of corporate governance, compliance, and investigations.  Our team includes not only experienced policy and law advisors, former general counsel, and government contracts attorneys, but also certified public accountants and former government officials.

Our Compliance and Investigations team of attorneys and senior advisors are committed to providing our clients with incomparable service, a creative approach, and solutions to challenges that include:

• Guidance on and commitment to corporate responsibility – doing the right thing
• Assistance in gaining a strategic competitive edge through effective and efficient compliance programs and in avoiding risk through prevention and detection business models
• Counseling on the interplay between corporate and federal/state laws covering governance
• Support with any investigations/defense needs

To ensure that we meet our commitment, we work to build strong relationships with our clients. We recognize that building lasting relationships requires consistent staffing ─ we form small teams of lawyers to handle clients' short- and long-term needs  and ensure that those lawyers are available and accessible as needed.

We also invest time in getting to know our clients and their industries, with a focus on understanding their businesses and the challenges they face. Our experience has demonstrated that creating relationships in this manner promotes trust and confidence, and results in a partnership between our team and our clients that ensures that our clients’ compliance needs are met.
