Hilgers Government Enforcement & Investigations: Trusted Counsel in High-Stakes Matters

Download Our GEI Overview

Comprised of former SEC and DOJ attorneys, our GEI team assists clients in navigating complex investigations, regulatory inquiries, and enforcement actions with strategic insight and precision.

Our team has led internal and regulatory compliance investigations for publicly traded issuers and regulated entities concerning myriad issues, including potential company exposure under various criminal and civil statutes, targeted assessments of potential company or employee malfeasance, and analyses of whistleblower claims.

Additionally, our team has represented companies, their boards, and individuals in civil and criminal government investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ), U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Commodity Futures and Trading Commission (CFTC), the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA), and various state regulators and self-regulatory organizations. We leverage our extensive government experience and defense expertise to frequently resolve matters without any government enforcement action. In instances where litigation becomes necessary, our national trial team stands ready to handle the matter all the way through trial.
