The guide honors leading attorneys whose practices encompass the full spectrum of investigations matters. Developed in response to the increasing prominence of investigations involving Congress, government agencies, corporations, universities, and nonprofit organizations, the guide also recognizes the critical role white-collar defense practitioners play in helping clients navigate complex regulatory, enforcement, and compliance challenges.

Among those recognized is <a href="/people/shawn-m-wright/" type="poa_person" id="19282">Shawn M. Wright</a>, co-chair of Blank Rome's Litigation department. In highlighting her selection, Lawdragon describes Shawn as "a Washington, D.C. powerhouse" whose practice focuses on white-collar criminal defense, including matters involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, international anti-corruption laws, criminal antitrust issues, public corruption, congressional investigations, and government contracts. The publication also noted her extensive experience conducting internal investigations and representing clients in high-stakes government enforcement matters.
