How In-House Counsel Should Respond to White-Collar Crimes Allegations
Woods Rogers attorney Monica Cliatt, a member of our firm’s Government & Special Investigations Practice, authored a column for Today’s General Counsel, addressing how legal departments should respond when a corporate employee has been accused of misconduct. While the Department of Justice has shifted resources away from traditional white-collar crimes, local and state enforcement agencies continue to investigate and prosecute such cases.
“As this landscape evolves, early awareness and strategic action are critical,” Monica writes. “Legal departments should be prepared to respond swiftly and thoughtfully to protect their organization’s interests and reduce risk.”
Monica provides a checklist for legal departments to use in the days following allegations.
