Partner David Frulla authored the Law360 article “Concerns And Conflicts When Investigating Gov’t Officials.” The article takes a look back at the recent history of independent/special counsels appointed to investigate, and sometimes prosecute, high-ranking government officials in the U.S., and the inherent tension between the appointers and appointees associated with conducting such investigations.
