Family Law

Divorce
Adoption
Guardianship
Estate planning and probate. We work with clients to create comprehensive estate plans which reduce income and estate tax liability while addressing the specific needs of the individual client. We also counsel clients in matters of probate and trust administration, post-mortem planning, marital agreements (both prenuptial and postnuptial), guardianship and conservatorship actions for minors and incapacitated adults, and the preparation of gift and estate tax returns.

Criminal Law

Criminal Defense
Criminal Antitrust Defense. In our criminal antitrust defense practice, we represent companies and individuals in state and federal investigations, from grand jury appearances through trials and appeals. We are experienced in defending against criminal investigations, negotiating plea agreements, managing whistleblowers and confidential informant allegations, as well as advocating for our clients who are involved in parallel proceedings where criminal and civil charges stem from the same investigation or set of facts. Our criminal defense attorneys are former prosecutors at the federal and state level with significant trial experience, including at the Department of Justice’s Division of Antitrust.
Wrongful Death
Tried to a successful jury verdict the first long term care wrongful death case to go to verdict in more than a decade, for one of the largest privately-owned nursing home chains in the country.
Fraud
Health care and pharmaceutical fraud. Our Health Care Fraud team regularly responds to multi-faceted health care-related investigations, including those with criminal, civil and administrative implications, by government entities. Our ability to partner a significant collection of attorneys with government experience alongside our in-house regulatory specialists ensures that we have the knowledge and experience to help clients navigate the layers of potential risks. Our clients include some of the nation's largest hospital systems, individual long-term care facilities, pharmacy and lab chains, and smaller physician practice groups, among others. Clients benefit from the litigation and trial advocacy experience of the former prosecutors, agents and white collar defense attorneys, many of whom have decades of experience helping health care providers navigate the nuances and requirements of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and its agencies and contractors.
White Collar Crimes
White Collar Crime. Baker Donelson has decades' worth of experience representing individuals and corporations who are under investigation or otherwise entangled in the criminal process at all levels of prosecution – local, state or federal. Over the years, the Firm has successfully guided corporate entities, C-level officers, board members, senior executives, elected or appointed public officials, and a host of other professionals through complex criminal investigations. While each case presents its own set of unique facts yielding different strategies for our clients, our GEI group has had a number of successes in criminal litigation against the government. Some of our best successes have come in connection with representations of individuals or entities during which our attorneys have persuaded government prosecutors, during the investigatory phase of a criminal matter, from bringing criminal charges altogether. Other successes have come by closely examining the work of the investigators after litigation has commenced, resulting in pre-trial dismissals of criminal cases by courts. Finally, on the merits, we have had a number of successes by persuading juries and/or judges as to our clients' innocence; in other words, taking our clients' cases to trial and winning. Our GEI group is made up of a number of former prosecutors, former federal agents and former governmental counsel with decades of experience in working on white collar criminal matters. Our lawyers have received a number of accolades for their work on criminal matters, including recognition in
Theft
Embezzlement
We have deep experience conducting workplace investigations involving a wide range of allegations of employee wrongdoing, including harassment and discrimination and employee fraud and embezzlement, and have done so for small businesses and Fortune 500 companies alike. In some cases, the best defense may be for a client to conduct its own internal investigation, and in those instances, our attorneys coach clients on how to do so most effectively. In other cases, or we conduct the investigations ourselves and provide comprehensive reports on our findings.
Restraining Order
These measures also ensure that, when a violation or breach occurs and legal action is necessary, a solid foundation for enforcement has been established. Our litigation teams are prepared to swiftly gather and analyze evidence (which often includes electronic data and metadata), secure forensic examinations and experts, and seek appropriate damages and injunctive relief, including temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions until permanent relief can be obtained. We represent our clients in claims under applicable state laws and under federal laws such as the Defend Trade Secrets Act, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and Stored Communications Act.
Money Laundering
Manslaughter
Represented an offshore oil and gas producer in a federal criminal investigation and prosecution regarding an explosion on a company-owned platform. The explosion resulted in three fatalities, for which the company was criminally charged with multiple counts of manslaughter.
