INVESTIGATIONS
The firm conducts internal investigations on behalf of companies, boards of directors, and special board managements committees of suspected criminal, regulatory, or civil misconduct. We have experience dealing with various state, federal, and regulatory agencies in connection with those investigations.
A Boutique Firm Dedicated to Effective Advocacy and with Proven Results.
Balestriere fights for businesses, institutions, and individuals in disputes around the world. Our team represents our clients at all stages of a dispute including at trial, in arbitration hearings, in appellate courts, in intense negotiations, in investigations, and when dealing with the government.
We focus on difficult cases and are compensated based on the results we obtain, not simply for effort. We drive cases to win.
-
WE ARE TRIAL LAWYERS
Our firm is built on trial focused prosecution or defense. While most cases settle, and most litigators err in focusing immediately on settlement, we litigate every case as if it were going to trial or arbitration. We bring our appellate experience to influence how we handle litigation from the earliest stages of a case.
-
WE ARE COUNSELORS
We have helped many clients in tough situations who turn to us for general counsel needs. We increasingly provide a range of general counseling, transactional, and deal services to our clients. We provide a perspective to our general counsel and transaction clients that lawyers who are not entrepreneurs or who have not tried cases simply cannot.
-
WE ARE INVESTIGATORS
Our attorneys direct teams of investigators, auditors, and analysts in various types of investigations, including those undertaken in response to government inquiries; perform due diligence projects on behalf of companies or investment firms who wish to invest in or do business with another company.
