WHITE COLLAR CRIMES

Bondurant, Mixson & Elmore LLP's business crimes practice focuses on three areas: white collar criminal litigation and counseling, corporate compliance programs and internal corporate investigations.

The firm's initial experience in the business crimes field occurred in the area of antitrust through Emmet Bondurant, who is widely recognized as one of the top antitrust attorneys in the country.

While the firm's primary focus in the area of criminal law remains in the antitrust field, our practice has in recent years expanded into other areas as well. For example, John Floyd was appointed as a Special Assistant Attorney General to assist the State of Georgia in its successful RICO prosecution of two former professors at the Medical College of Georgia. He has also represented companies in the health care industry in government investigations, qui tam litigation and internal investigations.

We represent companies and individuals (including directors, officers, and other professionals) designated as targets, subjects or fact witnesses in federal and state grand jury investigations and prosecutions. We have also assisted clients with internal investigations, including factual and legal analysis, and where appropriate, disclosure to government agencies and implementation of remedial measures. We have also assisted clients in designing and implementing effective internal compliance programs that comport with the federal Sentencing Guidelines.

When companies or individuals face criminal legal issues, there are often serious civil litigation implications as well. The broad experience of the lawyers who practice in this area, as well as of the other litigators in the firm, enables us to respond effectively to such problems.

Emmet Bondurant, Edward Krugman, John Floyd, Jill Pryor and Ben Fox are among the attorneys who have experience in this area.
