DLA Piper named in Global Investigations Review’s list of leading investigations practices

DLA Piper has once again been named in Global Investigations Review’s (GIR) list of the top 30 investigations practices worldwide, reflecting the firm’s strong global reputation in complex investigations.

GIR noted that DLA Piper’s track record in the past year “reinforced its standing as a trusted adviser in complex regulatory environments” and added, “Clients consistently turn to DLA Piper for high-stakes, multijurisdictional investigations, citing the team’s strategic acumen” and “its ability to deliver credible, defensible results under pressure.”

The firm’s multidisciplinary, cross-border global investigations group includes white collar crime, regulatory defense, and investigative lawyers, in addition to former regulators, government attorneys, and prosecutors. Operating across key global markets, the team is recognized for its strategic approach to complex matters spanning securities enforcement, criminal tax, anti-corruption, government enforcement, whistleblower issues, and cases involving the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and UK Bribery Act.

“We’re honored to be recognized by Global Investigations Review as one of the top practices worldwide,” said John Hillebrecht, US Co-Chair of DLA Piper’s White Collar Crime, Investigations, and Government Enforcement group. “Our team is committed to guiding clients through demanding regulatory landscapes, and this accolade reflects both our clients’ trust in us and the collective strength of our global practice.”

“Our ability to collaborate across regions and navigate both local and international regulatory frameworks enables us to support clients facing challenging investigations and enforcement actions,” said Adam Vause, Global Co-Chair of the firm’s Global Investigations practice.

GIR’s list identifies the top 30 global law firms with broad experience in complex investigations. The publication evaluates global reach, breadth and depth of investigations handled, appearances before government authorities, client roster, and the number and caliber of team members.
