Our partners include former top White House officials, in addition to former top attorneys at the Department of Justice, the Commerce Department, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and key House and Senate Committees, among other government agencies.

    • Our partner Steve Olson served as Executive Director of SelectUSA, President Barack Obama’s initiative to attract increased investment in the United States by international businesses.
    • Our Congressional Investigations practice specializes in responding to Congressional subpoenas, preparing clients to testify before Congressional committees, managing public relations, political strategy and collateral litigation, and representing members in ethics inquiries and related criminal investigations.
