Civil litigation arising from white-collar crime encompasses the parallel legal proceedings that accompany criminal investigations when individuals and organizations commit financially motivated misconduct. This category covers the civil remedies available to harmed parties, including shareholders, investors, and government entities seeking recovery through the courts rather than—or in addition to—criminal prosecution.
Articles in this section examine how civil lawsuits function as effective enforcement mechanisms for white-collar offenses such as securities fraud, misrepresentation, embezzlement, and financial institution fraud. They explore the distinctions between civil and criminal proceedings, the discovery process, and how evidence gathered in civil cases may inform criminal investigations. Coverage includes high-profile settlements and judgments, the strategic considerations defendants face when navigating simultaneous civil and criminal exposure, and the various remedies courts may impose, including disgorgement of profits, restitution to victims, and asset forfeiture.
This category serves attorneys advising clients on white-collar defense strategy, corporate counsel managing litigation risk, and practitioners specializing in securities law, fraud litigation, and regulatory enforcement. Understanding civil litigation pathways is essential for comprehensive white-collar crime defense and corporate risk management.
