The prospect of being the subject of a Congressional investigation can be both overwhelming and challenging. These investigations can expose a company, its executives, officers, board members, and employees to not only public and media scrutiny, but to criminal liability, criminal or regulatory referrals, administrative penalties, and potential civil litigation. In the face of a Congressional investigation, a company or individual must coordinate and address all aspects of the investigation—legal, political and public relations—to ensure that their rights and reputation are protected. Given the stakes, the unique demands of a Congressional investigation require experienced counsel. Whether compelled by subpoena or appearing voluntarily, seasoned guidance is necessary to navigate individuals and corporations through the potential pitfalls associated with Congressional inquiries. Sonnenschein is a leader in representing companies and individuals in Congressional investigations and high-profile hearings, and has the necessary skills to manage legal, political, and public relations risks. Our multidisciplinary team has significant experience representing companies and individuals in a wide variety of industries, including health care, pharmaceuticals, financial services, energy, telecommunications, defense, and homeland security.
