Larry concentrated his practice on the representation of corporations and executives subject to federal and state criminal and civil investigation proceedings. He served as the independent corporate compliance monitor for a large U.S. medical device manufacturer and distributor pursuant to the company’s deferred prosecution agreements with the U.S. government.
In addition, Larry represented multinational corporations before the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Department of Justice (DOJ) in Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) investigations. He also represented clients in complex civil disputes, including prelitigation case assessment and in all trial proceedings.
Notably, Larry joined the firm after 18 years as a federal prosecutor and three years as a state prosecutor. He concluded his DOJ service on the prosecution team responsible for the convictions of the Oklahoma City bombing defendants. Larry tried both cases and delivered the prosecution's closing argument in U.S. v. Timothy McVeigh. As a federal prosecutor, he also investigated and tried a wide array of white collar offenses, including securities fraud, healthcare fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, and antitrust and environmental crimes.
Larry’s dedication to preparation is manifest in his absolute command of the facts of his case, which he presented with respect, decorum and sincerity. His unwavering pledge to providing the best possible defense for his client was reinforced by a personal belief in the critical role juries play in the justice system.
Larry didn't lose focus on the importance of the outcome when defending his clients, who were often faced with results that can threaten not only their financial well-being, but also their freedom. This enormous civil responsibility drove him day in and day out to present the requisite information and the most impactful, sensible argument needed to find in favor of his client.
