In this engaging session, we will hear from investigators and practitioners that have been involved in some of the most impactful and high-profile criminal and civil matters. We will trace the steps that were needed to get the matter investigated and prosecuted, and assets recovered—and will review:

• What has triggered suspicion and investigations – both criminal and civil
• The initiation of the investigation and severity of the potential charges against a public official
• The early stages of interagency and multi-jurisdictional cooperation, and what is ultimately needed to bring a case to fruition
• The ramifications to the public as a result of a potential leadership shakeup, and instilling confidence in future government representation
• How to avoid a deteriorating state of governance, along with preventing the potential for serious organized crime moving in during the crisis and likely transition
• The role of outside counsel in subsequent litigation
