White Collar, Investigation & International Litigation

Bartko attorneys have undertaken high-stakes white collar criminal and internal investigations and related enforcement matters since the firm’s inception. Bartko’s work in this area also involves international matters. These representations have required pioneering work in obtaining documents and testimony located domestically and abroad. Bartko attorneys have a reputation for experience and integrity that allows them to work effectively with government authorities as well as corporate decision-makers. The firm prizes its ability to efficiently analyze and distill massive data, so we can focus our clients on the most relevant information. We regularly assist companies in responding to local, state and federal criminal and regulatory investigations. Frequently, these are parallel to civil claims and class actions, including securities fraud. Our expertise is also bolstered by colleagues with experience as government prosecutors and at regulatory agencies. We have recently represented a leading automotive manufacturer in a federal antitrust investigation

Examples of notable criminal jury trials with an international dimension include U.S. v. Imelda Marcos (SDNY) and U.S. v. Gary Swanson (ND Cal.) We have also represented significant European and Asian companies in US litigation, and have appeared in foreign courts and tribunals across the globe. As part of our international litigation practice, the firm has successfully defended foreign heads of state and government officials from the Philippines, South Korea and Egypt in complex federal claims brought in the US.
