White Collar Crime Institute

White collar criminal prosecutions, investigations, and reform efforts have widespread political, social, and economic reverberations that seem to grow, year after year. The scope and nature of white collar matters have become more complex, as defense attorneys, prosecutors, and regulators must define the contours of cooperation, navigate tumultuous cross-border and multi-jurisdictional issues, and adjust to an evolving and uncertain enforcement landscape—all under intense press and public scrutiny. Technology adds additional layers of complexity, with cryptocurrency, cybercrime, and cybersecurity posing both opportunities and challenges.

The White Collar Crime Committee has assembled a comprehensive full-day program that explores these and other critical developments that have characterized this era of white collar enforcement. Our panels include senior government enforcement officials, members of the media, and top practitioners in the field.
