Congressional investigations can be a nightmare for both individuals and businesses. Businesses may find themselves in the midst of chaos when they have to respond to congressional inquiries, while also performing damage control to keep the company’s reputation intact. Companies subject to congressional investigations often risk temporary or permanent damage to their corporate reputation, which may affect investor confidence. Oftentimes, individuals and businesses are forced to disclose confidential, sensitive and/or personal information in the midst of the investigation.
Failing to disclose requested documents and information could lead to congressional subpoenas and possible criminal charges in federal court for failing to comply. An experienced American Legal Group LLP familiar with congressional investigations can help ensure that any individuals or business summoned by these federal authorities have their rights fully protected.
