Government Solutions

Government action can rapidly reshape compliance obligations, enforcement exposure, funding structures, and market conditions. Our Government Solutions practice is built for moments when US federal and state decisions carry legal, financial, or reputational consequences.

Our team, centered in Washington, DC, includes former senior US government officials who have operated inside the agencies and offices now shaping today’s US enforcement landscape. We understand how priorities are set, how investigations led by US agencies escalate, how multistate matters are coordinated and expand to include issues across countries globally, and how remedies are structured—because we have worked within those systems.

We support organizations across industries including technology, banking, healthcare, life sciences, fintech and digital assets, energy, aerospace and defense, and investment funds.  Working seamlessly across regulatory, investigations, litigation, compliance, employment, antitrust and competition, tax, and transactional practices, we deliver coordinated, enterprise-level strategies grounded in operational realism and legal rigor.

We help clients:

  • Anticipate and assess US executive and agency action before it escalates
  • Navigate US federal and state investigations and enforcement proceedings
  • Manage multistate and parallel federal–state matters
  • Manage cross-border regulatory risk and investigations
  • Align enterprise risk management with evolving US government priorities

OUR APPROACH

Legal-First Strategy

Every government interaction begins with rigorous legal analysis. We embed regulatory insight directly into litigation, compliance, investigations, and transactional strategy.

Operational Realism

Our former officials have managed programs, led investigations, and overseen enforcement initiatives within US government. That insight, experience and nuanced understanding inform advice that is practical, measured, and prepared for scrutiny.

Enterprise-Wide Coordination

Government action rarely affects a single function. We draw together the depth and experience of our team members in internal investigations, white collar, employment, antitrust and competition, tax, international trade, national security and sanctions, healthcare, financial services, together with industry knowledge and insights, to strategically address litigation, compliance, and reputational considerations.

While we do not engage in lobbying, we collaborate with experienced government affairs professionals in the United States when policy advocacy is appropriate—ensuring coordinated engagement grounded in legal judgment.

OUR WORK

We support clients in matters such as:

  • Guiding organizations through complex US federal and state enforcement environments
