Overview
Mayer Brown has a long history of representing clients in high-profile congressional investigations. Congressional investigations are subject to different constitutional, statutory, and procedural rules than other government investigations, and successful responses require advisers who can handle both the “congressional” and the “investigations” aspects. Our team has unparalleled legal and political acumen to guide clients through the most challenging investigations, gained over decades of experience handling congressional investigations from every angle – as senior committee staff conducting investigations, as legal counsel to House committees advising on subpoena issuance and enforcement, as senior congressional leadership staff tasked with overseeing investigations across congressional committees, as federal agency and White House staff handling congressional inquiries, as litigation counsel in congressional subpoena disputes, and as in-house counsel coordinating responses to congressional inquiries.
