Fluet is proud to announce recognition as a Regional Tier 1 firm in the 2027 edition of Best Law Firms for Criminal Defense: White Collar in Washington, D.C.
The Best Law Firms rankings are the result of a rigorous research process that incorporates client feedback, peer evaluations, interviews with industry leaders, and an in-depth analysis of firm data. This year, more than 110,000 client references were submitted, providing valuable insight into the performance and client experience of U.S. law firms.
Fluet’s White Collar and Government Investigations team understands the extraordinarily high stakes for clients facing government inquiries, investigations, and criminal prosecutions. The practice recognizes that government scrutiny poses legal, business, and reputational risks for companies—particularly those that do business with the federal government—and utilizes a multi-disciplinary approach that seeks to mitigate all of these risks. The team includes former Assistant United States Attorneys, Department of Justice (DOJ) Trial Attorneys, Assistant State Attorneys General, and agency counsel who draw on their prior experience in government, as well as former in-house counsel with experience in the national security industry.
“We are thrilled to be recognized for obtaining superb results for our clients navigating the most challenging white collar and government investigations matters. Our team of former federal prosecutors, former in house counsel, and seasoned defense counsel are battle-tested in high pressure, sensitive matters, often with National Security implications, equipping us to protect our clients’ interests at every stage—from initial inquiry through trial if necessary,” says Nicolas Rotsko, Chair of Fluet’s Litigation + Investigations Practice.
Drawing on this experience, Fluet attorneys have been at the forefront of defining white collar matters in recent years, including False Claims Act investigations, FCPA enforcement actions, government contract fraud cases, national security-related prosecutions, government subpoena responses, and complex negotiations with DOJ, Inspectors General, and State Attorneys General. National security is part of Fluet’s DNA and the firm’s White Collar team understands how contracting regulations, agency requirements, regulatory compliance obligations, and government enforcement priorities intersect, and how to navigate these complexities effectively to protect clients’ business relationships, financial performance, and ability to maintain a presence in the federal marketplace.
