    By Hartley M.K. West, Steven G. Kobre and Michael F. Peng | September 7, 2017

    The future of cross-border government enforcement investigations has been shaken by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit's recent decision in United States v.

    By Mike Scarcella and Cheryl Miller | September 1, 2017

    From one U.S. attorney general to another, Eric Holder Jr. recently offered Jeff Sessions some leadership advice. Holder's observations were not solicited. "I urge you not to force them to further defend the indefensible—the president's inhumane and unjust executive orders," the Covington & Burling partner wrote to Sessions.
