Congressional Investigations with Kevin Carroll

Welcome to the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption and Internal Investigations Practice Group’s Podcast, All Things Investigations. In this podcast, host Tom Fox and members of the Hughes Hubbard Anti-Corruption & Internal Investigations Practice Group will highlight some of the key legal issues involved in white-collar and other investigations, both domestically and internationally. In this episode, I speak with Kevin Carroll, a partner at Hughes Hubbard, about congressional committees and investigations. Kevin Carroll is a partner in the firm’s Washington and New York offices in its white-collar and investigations practices. Kevin represents businesses, senior executives, and government officials in congressional and criminal investigations, conducts internal investigations, and litigates national security claims. Kevin also helps counsel businesses on CFIUS/FIRRMA, cyber security and data privacy, EAR/ITAR, FARA, FCPA, FISA, FMS, and OFAC compliance. Kevin is a Colonel in the United States Army Reserve and a writer whose work has been published in the Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Bloomberg Law. Key areas we discuss on this podcast are: The role of an attorney in a congressional committee around the investigation. Lawyers in a US attorney’s office are, to a degree, dependent on the cases that the FBI or district police bring them. How Kevin advises clients through congressional investigations. Congress is under no obligation to recognize attorney/client privilege.  Preparing a witness for a congressional hearing. Concerned citizens can raise issues that could lead to congressional investigations.  Resources Hughes Hubbard & Reed website  Kevin Carroll
