Experience where it counts means successful results for our clients.

“Kenneth P. White is brilliant, experienced, responsive, and wise. He is everything a client wants in a lawyer — and I was thrilled with the result in my case.”

“I engaged Ron Wood as counsel to a special committee of a publicly-traded U.S. company. He oversaw foreign and domestic investigations and advised the special committee on the restatement of several years of financial statements as well as issues potentially related to FCPA. He grasped the details of a far-flung company, and he gained the confidence of the special committee and the board. With Mr. Wood as counsel, the special committee successfully completed its responsibilities, and the company avoided an SEC investigation. I strongly recommend Ron Wood.”

“When I faced politically motivated criminal charges that were potentially career-ending, the firm fought tenaciously to convince a judge to dismiss the charges and secured reimbursement for my unfair treatment. Their knowledge of the conflict of interest laws and their litigation experience were crucial.”

“Ron, I’m probably too emotional right now but a big thank you to you. You fought for our cause as hard as us and never waivered in your support for us. Not to take anything away from the rest of the team, they all did an awesome job. We just know how hard your worked on this. Thank you.”
