Your Strategic Partner For Commercial Disputes, White-collar Matters, And Internal Investigations

At Ford O’Brien Landy LLP, our team of innovative, skilled, and passionate lawyers represents businesses and individuals in complex, high-stakes disputes and investigations. Our practice focuses primarily on white collar criminal and regulatory enforcement matters and commercial litigation. We also have expertise in other areas including internal investigations, obtaining discovery from U.S.-based entities for use in foreign proceedings, civil asset forfeiture matters, and appeals.

Our lawyers bring decades of experience from leading litigation practices and government service. We regularly represent domestic and international clients in U.S.-based matters brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other government agencies, as well as in significant private litigation in state and federal courts.

A History Of Results

Our results speak for themselves. Our attorneys have successfully navigated clients through high-profile financial, securities fraud, and cross-border matters. Our victories have included a full acquittal after a federal criminal trial of a hedge fund CFO, dismissals of federal and state indictments and complaints, closures without charges of investigations of our clients by prosecutors and regulators, favorable settlements in complex civil matters, and successful federal appeals.
