We are ready to help our clients navigate the potential legal and regulatory changes that could arise under a Biden Administration, as affected by the final outcome of the U.S. Senate races – including White Collar & Corporate Investigations.

Some considerations under a Biden Administration include:

• Renewed focus on corporate criminal enforcement – e.g., financial crimes, environmental crimes, health care fraud, and international corruption. This shift in focus would likely draw resources back from the focus on certain immigration enforcement matters.
• Expect a continued rise in opioid-focused matters, including against distributors, manufacturers and prescribers, to remain a bipartisan issue. DOJ has secured recent high-profile criminal and civil resolutions in this industry that will likely serve as a blueprint for additional investigations and prosecutions.
• With trillions injected into the U.S. economy in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect to see an increase in federal criminal investigations and congressional oversight focused on how funds were used and whether any false representations were made in the application process.
