Parallel Proceedings in Southern District: Are They 'Related'?

Ronald G. Blum and Arunabha Bhoumik write: More and more, defendants find themselves in multi-front fights: Federal prosecutors bring criminal charges, while another agency brings a related civil proceeding.

After officers or directors of a publicly traded company are accused of wrongdoing and are terminated or resign, they may find themselves defending against government investigations or civil litigation. When this happens, the interests of ex-officers likely will be adverse to their former employer. The company might cooperate with a government investigation of former officers or even sue the officers itself.
