The Women's White Collar Defense Association is a coalition of attorneys and other professionals with relevant expertise who specialize in white collar criminal defense. Our practices focus on a range of issues including antitrust actions, complex commercial litigation, Foreign Corrupt Practices Act issues, government contracting, healthcare fraud and abuse, insider trading, securities litigation, qui tam and whistleblower cases, and more. Our members are nationwide, with regional groups organized by city. The Association exists to provide:
• networking opportunities and business referrals for its members
• substantive resources
• a forum to hear from government officials and the private sector
• a clearing house for discussion of pressing white collar bar issues
• a vehicle for information sharing related to job openings and other items of interest. The Washington and New York Chapters were founded in the late 1990’s when our founders recognized a glaring lack of equal opportunity in existing professional white collar organizations. Such professional organizations are crucial for networking to develop business in the practice area. Since those early days, chapters have been organized in eleven cities -- Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Los Angeles, London, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Francisco, & Washington, D.C. -- and membership has grown to more than 4,500 members. Our members have served in government positions and in corporate roles. Notable members have included corporate General Counsels and Chief Compliance Officers, as well as prosecutors and high ranking government officials (e.g., the White House Counsel and the Chief of the Criminal Division at the U.S. Please see WWCDA Terms of Use: https://www.wwcda.org/termsandconditions
