Congressional Investigations

Congressional Investigations/Crisis Management

King & Spalding’s highly regarded Congressional Investigations lawyers have a level of experience and effectiveness that is unmatched in representing and helping protect the interests of clients as they navigate the unique aspects of an investigation by Congress.  Our team is led by former congressional investigators, executive branch officials, and seasoned lawyers with deep knowledge of the distinctive character and rules of the key congressional oversight committees and leadership. 

Our past work and strong relationships built on trust and professionalism with Members of Congress and staff on both sides of the aisle have proven invaluable in protecting each client’s business and brand across a wide range of industries.  For the last three decades, we have represented companies and individuals in high profile congressional investigations involving high-profile testimony at public hearings by CEOs and other senior executives, staff and Member-level briefings, witness interviews and depositions, extensive document productions, and parallel government investigations.  Our crisis management experience also enables us to spot investigative trends and public relations implications early on and recommend actions before a congressional crisis erupts, and as necessary, respond quickly and strategically to fast-moving developments that often play out in the press.
