Litigation + Investigations

Federal Agency Investigations + Inquiries

Our attorneys understand the high-stakes nature of government inquiries and investigations, bringing unparalleled experience to help both organizations and individuals facing these challenges. Our partners have served as Assistant United States Attorneys, Associate Counsel to President George W. Bush, and in leadership positions within the Department of Justice’s Criminal Division. This deep institutional knowledge enables successful guidance through government subpoena responses and complex negotiations with federal investigators.

This deep institutional knowledge stems from our attorneys’ distinguished government service, including conducting investigations into racketeering, money laundering, and fraud. Fluet’s Litigation + Investigations Practice leverages this comprehensive background to effectively represent clients facing government inquiries, defending their interests while strategically pursuing alternative dispute resolution when appropriate to achieve optimal outcomes.

Our clients benefit from Fluet’s comprehensive experience in:

  • Multi-agency government inquiries, encompassing Agency Inspector Generals, Administrative Agencies, SEC investigations, and Special Counsel matters that could result in criminal referrals.
  • Federal employee and contractor defense, including whistleblower protection for senior federal employees, representing corporate officials in Qui Tam actions, fitness for duty claims, and security clearance-related investigations.
  • Cross-jurisdictional subpoena response, assisting clients with federal and state subpoenas while navigating complex regulatory schemes and potential criminal or civil liability.
  • Specialized investigations support, including racketeering, money laundering, fraud investigations, contract fraud allegations, conflict of interest matters, and abuse of authority claims.
