White Collar Case Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on how to implement winning strategies when handling difficult, and often high-profile, white collar cases. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through the different phases of strategic development, and the key considerations for each phase. These top lawyers reveal their advice on interviewing the client effectively, establishing a trusting relationship with government officials, developing a strategy early on, and making tough decisions, such as whether or not the client should testify.

Additionally, these leaders discuss two ground-breaking white collar cases in detail: United States v. Michael K. Deaver and United States v. Melville Borne.
