Global Investigations Review (GIR) has named Goodwin among the world's leading investigations law firms in the 2025 edition of GIR 100. The annual guide recognizes the leading 100 law firms globally for corporate investigations, as honorees are recognized for their ability to carry out sophisticated, cross-border government-led and internal investigations.
GIR stated that Goodwin's "white-collar and government investigations practice has long combined courtroom trial work with regulatory and corporate investigations," as "the group has acted in headline matters." It also noted Goodwin's ability to handle "sensitive internal reviews for corporates, universities and non-profits," and stated that "trial capability remains a hallmark." Client feedback noted that the "Goodwin team was talented from top to bottom – calm, collegial, responsive and consistently exercising great judgment."
Goodwin's Government Investigations, Enforcement & White Collar Defense practice features partners with extensive experience in the investigations space, including Richard Strassberg, Miranda Hooker, Grant Fondo, Kirk Ogrosky, James Gatta, William Harrington, Anne Railton, Ilene Albala, Allan Medina, Gregory Demske, and Jonathan Hecht.
Goodwin's extensive track-record of success in investigations matters has earned the firm a reputation as "go to" counsel for C-suite individuals and directors and officers facing sensitive white collar investigations, government enforcement actions, and related litigation. They are frequently called upon to represent clients in the most high-profile trials—often parachuting in to serve as trial counsel in ongoing matters. The practices have been recognized for excellence by leading market commentators, including Chambers, The Legal 500, Benchmark Litigation, and many others.
