In a strategic move, McGuireWoods LLP has strengthened its government investigations and white collar litigation practice with the addition of Steven McCool and Julia Coleman, who have joined the firm as partners in the Washington D.C. office, as announced Tuesday. Both lawyers come from McCool Law and are noted for their expertise in handling complex matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, export controls, and various types of fraud cases.
McCool and Coleman bring a wealth of experience in representing both companies and individuals in high-stakes cases of bank fraud, money laundering, securities fraud, government contracting fraud, and mortgage and accounting fraud, enhancing the firm’s capacity to address intricate legal challenges. Their addition reflects McGuireWoods’ continuous effort to expand its capabilities in white collar defense and government investigations, a critical area of concern for corporate clients seeking robust legal defense in an increasingly regulated environment.
