We defend businesses and individuals in criminal investigations, regulatory enforcement actions, and prosecutions.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has sharpened its focus on election integrity, campaign finance, and public corruption and bribery investigations, resulting in many high-profile prosecutions of public officials, fundraisers, lobbyists, and other participants in the electoral process. These investigations, led by DOJ’s Public integrity Section, can be disruptive and potentially devastating to candidates and office holders.
Successfully navigating a public integrity investigation requires a deep understanding of campaign finance rules, the federal fraud and false statements statutes, crisis management, and communications strategy. These are all core strengths for BKLW. We have represented candidates, donors, and elected officials in connection with some of Southern California’s most high-profile public integrity investigations.
