White collar and investigations laterals, recruited nationwide.

A careful start.

Lateral Lock talks through the matters you can describe: internal investigations, government-facing defense, compliance work, and any prior government service. We take extra care with confidentiality from the first call.

• Choosing groups.Internal investigations and government-facing defense, whether before the DOJ, the SEC, or another enforcement agency, are screened on different records. We look for firms where that investigations work is a core practice and your experience fits.
• Vetting each firm.We review how each investigations practice is built and what kind of matters it publicly handles before it ever hears your name.
• Accurate, discreet materials.We shape the resume so the matters you can describe stay accurate, leave privileged detail out, and follow the order an investigations group reads: internal or government-facing, then your role. You approve every resume edit before the resume goes out. A short cover letter leads with what that firm prioritizes and goes out with the submission unless you ask to see it first.
• Interviews and offer.Each introduction requires your authorization. We prepare the interviews with you and negotiate the offer.
