Politicians and corporate executives in trouble with the feds have a long history of turning to Steptoe & Johnson LLP. Last year, the firm won dismissal of a congressional obstruction charge against a former BP PLC executive and argued for leniency — with some success — for ex-U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

Steptoe boasts one of the nation’s top white-collar defense lawyers, Reid Weingarten. The firm has bolstered the practice in recent years with hires from the U.S. Department of Justice — in 2013, for example, it brought on Jason Weinstein, the former deputy assistant attorney general of the Justice Depart­ment’s Criminal Division, in Washington and former Arizona U.S. Attorney Paul Charlton in Phoenix.
