Can Congress investigate the same matter that a regulator is investigating?
Quick Insights on Congressional Investigations is a video interview series hosted by Mayer Brown partners Michael Levy and Andrew Olmem, who 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 this episode, Michael and Andrew examine the challenging situation that arises when companies or individuals face concurrent congressional and regulatory investigations. Managing multiple investigations simultaneously can introduce significant complexity because Congress and executive branch agencies conduct their investigations under different constitutional authorities, for different purposes, pursuant to different rules and procedures. This episode focuses on strategies to improve the overall outcome while managing often competing risks.
