The growing government investigations and white-collar crime practice at Squire Patton Boggs leverages the firm’s international network of offices to advise on multijurisdictional money laundering, cryptocurrency, and fraud investigations as well as sanctions matters. The ‘simply outstanding’ Hannah Laming now leads the team and has extensive experience advising both corporates and individuals, including founders, senior executives, and high-net-worth individuals, on the full range of white-collar crime issues. Laming works alongside the ‘extremely responsive and knowledgeable’ Ben Ticehurst, who regularly represents senior executives facing multijurisdictional fraud, bribery, and corruption investigations, and Wayne Barnes, whose recent caseload includes advising whistleblowers, compliance offices, and sports administrators on a diverse array of financial crime matters.
