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, Steptoe &
Johnson, New York City ebarr@steptoe.com and Joanna C.
Hendon, Spears & Imes LLP, New York City.
