Can the courts protect against unreasonable congressional investigators?

Quick Insights on Congressional Investigations is a video interview series hosted by Mayer Brown partners Michael Levy and Andrew Olmem, who on a weekly basis unpack the nuanced complexities underlying congressional investigations and provide guidance on how companies can manage and minimize the impacts. Each episode is short and tackles one question relating to congressional investigations.

In follow-up to our prior episode exploring the broad limits on Congress’ power to investigate, Michael and Andrew now turn their focus to when and how courts will intervene if Congress has exceeded those limits and practical considerations to keep in mind should this situation arise.
