Regulatory Enforcement & Litigation

Today’s enforcement climate has all but erased the lines between criminal, civil and regulatory exposure. Agencies coordinate, proceedings run in parallel, and business risk multiplies. Clients need lawyers who understand the enforcement mindset and can build a single strategy that answers their legal, business and reputational concerns at once. Founded and led by former federal prosecutors, MRP is a go-to firm for exactly those situations.

We have defended companies and individuals in some of Florida’s most significant federal and state probes. Our clients include corporations and financial institutions of every size, along with owners, executives and prominent individuals under investigation or targeted for enforcement. We regularly appear — often in parallel matters — before DOJ, HHS, the IRS, SEC, OFAC, CFTC, FTC and FINRA, as well as state attorneys general and regulatory agencies. We also represent employees, individually and in groups, subpoenaed as grand jury witnesses.
