D.C. Practice

John is joined by William A. (Bill) Burck, Co-Chair of Quinn Emanuel’s Investigations, Government Enforcement and White Collar Criminal Defense Group.  Bill is one of the leading practitioners of what might be called “DC Law.” He has been referred to by the New York Times as the “new Edward Bennett Williams”  — the man to see in D.C. Together, they discuss the unique aspects of “inside the beltway” practice including persuading prosecutors and regulators of the policy merits of your clients’ positions, representing witnesses in congressional investigations and hearings, and some of the challenges of working in a highly partisan environment.
