Christopher Gunther

For more than 20 years, I have defended corporations and individuals in white collar criminal matters and civil government enforcement cases, including through trial and on appeal. My practice includes domestic and cross-border investigations and prosecutions. I have extensive experience litigating against the U.S. Department of Justice, the Securities and Exchange Commission, and other agencies and attorneys general. My representations have covered a wide range of matters, including securities laws and insider trading; banking, tax, accounting and medical device laws; anti-money laundering; and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I also conduct internal investigations for entities and boards of directors in a variety of contexts and counsel on compliance issues. I have represented a New York state financial control board, as well as the governing boards of two public universities facing allegations of misconduct in their athletic programs. Earlier in my career, I served as an assistant U.S. attorney in the Eastern District of New York and served as a member of the Criminal Justice Act panel for indigent criminal defendants in the Southern District of New York. In certain jurisdictions, this may be considered attorney advertising.
