Unmatched expertise in high-stakes government investigations

Our company faced a complex, multi-agency government investigation that threatened its very existence. We turned to Mark Filip at Kirkland & Ellis, and it was the best decision we could have made. His unique perspective, forged from his time as a federal judge and at the Justice Department, was immediately apparent. He understood not just the law, but the strategic posture and priorities of the enforcement agencies involved. Mark guided our internal investigation with a steady hand, providing clear, pragmatic advice that cut through the noise. His deep experience in bet-the-company litigation and white-collar defense was instrumental in achieving a favorable resolution that allowed our business to move forward. Mark’s calm professionalism and formidable intellect inspire complete confidence. He is, without question, the attorney you want in your corner when the stakes are highest.
