The crucial role private attorneys can play in preventing white-collar crime and ensuring corporate integrity was emphasized yesterday in speeches by Southern District U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara and New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman.
Delivering the keynote addresses for the New York City Bar’s inaugural White Collar Crime Institute, Bharara and Schneiderman argued that lawyers can make a difference at a time of faltering public confidence in the financial industry by upholding the finest traditions of the legal profession.
