The internationally renowned legal services guide Legal 500 has again recognized LSW as a leading firm representing individuals in Corporate Investigations and White-Collar Criminal Defense in the United States.

In the words of one testimonial quoted by Legal 500 : 

• ‘I think more than any other boutique firm, Lankler provides the type of expertise and service expected of top large firms. This is principally because of the quality of lawyers, who are excellent without exception.’

 

The Guide’s editorial team lauds the firm and its partners in the full review:

A group of lawyers praised as ‘excellent without exception’, Lankler Siffert & Wohl LLP in New York is a business crime and complex business litigation boutique that represents both corporates and individuals in a broad range of criminal investigations and regulatory proceedings. Jillian Berman acts in white-collar criminal and regulatory matters, government and internal investigations, and complex commercial litigations, and also advises on corporate governance issues, and Matthew Coogan specializes in business and other civil disputes, white-collar criminal and regulatory proceedings, and internal investigations. White-collar defense attorney Gabrielle Friedman is a go-to practitioner for cross-border litigation, and Doug Maynard is described by clients as a ‘highly respected and excellent white-collar lawyer with decades of wide-ranging experience’. Katherine Lemire joined from Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP in March 2025, and is an expert in matters relating to banking, insurance, crypto, and anti-money laundering compliance, and Charles Spada is another key contact.
