The US federal government will often indict corporations and the people who work for them. If you’re a corporate executive or a member of the C-suite, you could face a lengthy federal prison sentence if charged and convicted of a corporate crime. Even if you were following your boss’s orders, you could still be held criminally liable.

We handle all types of criminal charges against corporations, and we’re dedicated to defending the rights of the employees those charges affect. We have successfully defended corporations against the following charges:
If government officials contact you, it’s crucial that you do not say anything. You must promptly obtain qualified, experienced legal counsel. For any actions you performed under your employer that violated compliance acts, you can be held personally responsible.
If you’ve thought about seeking advice from your company’s internal counsel, that would be a mistake for two reasons.
Talking to investigators without legal counsel is also incredibly risky. If you make a false statement to a federal officer or conceal vital information from them, you could face a 1001 charge. But you’re protected from a 1001 charge if you seek qualified counsel.
The best defense against a criminal corporate compliance charge is to not be indicted in the first place. Here at the Kerns Law Group, we’ve successful advised and defended corporations and their employees from these charges.
