While any government investigation can be high stakes, Congressional investigations bring even more complexity considering Congress’s broad investigative powers, the keen media attention to the proceedings, the multiple agencies with differing agendas involved, and the political overtones at play. Kostelanetz LLP professionals have the government experience and political instincts to navigate the partisan minefields and often murky legal issues involved in Congressional investigations. We possess the know-how to guide clients through the full range of stakeholders in such an investigation, particularly when Congress’ demands conflict with the legal rights and needs of our clients.
