The number of lawyers engaged in white
collar criminal litigation has grown dramatically in recent years, as the
priorities of the regulators have shifted and as the number and nature of the
regulators vying to regulate white collar crime have expanded and
changed.
The White Collar Criminal Litigation
Committee seeks (1) to educate its members about important developments in
federal and state criminal law and related regulatory matters (2) to provide a
forum for members to share questions and experiences; and (3) to encourage
discussion between the white collar bar and the regulators concerning a range of
issues, from trends in enforcement to the impact of new judicial decisions or
congressional activity. From time to time, the Committee studies and make
recommendations on legal, ethical and policy issues of importance to the white
collar bar in New
York State.
The White Collar Criminal Litigation Committee is
co-chaired by Evan T. Barr, Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, New York City and Joanna C. Hendon,
Spears & Imes LLP, New York City.
