Partners Negar Tekeei and Mike Robotti and associates Alexander Bussey and Jocelyn Weinstein authored an article examining whether corporate and white-collar investigations are truly declining under the current administration or = enforcement priorities are simply evolving. Published in the New York Law Journal, the article analyzes recent DOJ and regulatory enforcement trends and highlights five areas where activity remains particularly robust: healthcare fraud, sanctions and export controls, cartel and terrorist financing, immigration enforcement, and gaming and prediction markets. The authors discuss how federal agencies are reallocating resources toward targeted, high-priority areas and offer practical compliance considerations for businesses navigating an increasingly data-driven enforcement environment.
