Congressional oversight poses a growing risk to companies in nearly every industry, and congressional priorities often shift with each election cycle. When Congress comes calling, the stakes are high across the legal, political, and reputational fronts, all at once. Ballard Spahr’s Congressional Investigations Team helps companies, trade associations, nonprofit organizations, and individuals prepare for and respond to congressional committee inquiries and the parallel government investigations that often follow.
Our team brings together three perspectives that are instrumental in effective handling of congressional matters: courtroom-tested white collar defense and internal investigations experience; deep knowledge and experience with political law, lobbying, and government ethics; and the insider view from lawyers who have served on Capitol Hill and in government. The result is a coordinated strategy for every stage of an inquiry, from the first letter to public testimony and beyond.
