Welcome to the inaugural edition of BakerHostetler's The Navigator, your source for news, trends, research and reliable commentary on white collar defense, corporate investigations, monitorships, examinerships and receiverships. In each bi-annual newsletter, our award-winning national team of contributing attorneys will offer insights and perspectives on how to best "navigate" this growing legal sphere.

In recent years, federal, state and local government agencies have become increasingly proactive in their enforcement approach, conducting complex investigations, as well as routinely appointing monitors, examiners and receivers to oversee major corporations and public works projects in nearly every industry. When confronting intense government scrutiny, particularly in the face of fraud allegations, compliance issues or settlement agreements, our affected clients, whether individuals or companies, come to BakerHostetler filled with questions. We created The Navigator to keep our clients and friends informed and aware. With case studies, best practices, articles and informative updates from our seasoned attorneys, many of whom have led high-stakes and prominent investigations and served as monitors, examiners and receivers, our goal is to steer you through.
