AVERUM Legal’s White Collar Defense and Investigations team represents large and small businesses, C-Suite officers and other executives, boards, board committees, public servants, professionals and other individuals in criminal and regulatory prosecutions, actions and investigations. The legal team has first-hand knowledge of how investigations are conducted and how members of law enforcement develop cases, providing essential assistance to our clients embroiled in the process.

The proper response to a crisis can preserve the viability of an organization and maintain an individual’s liberty. The ability of our White Collar team to draw on the skills of other attorneys within the firm as the need arises is an essential aspect of their success; collaborating with transactional attorneys with expertise in particular industries provides an added element that typical criminal defence firms do not possess. For that reason, our White Collar lawyers often collaborate with other law firms that lack those capabilities.
