Welcome to the Pitch & Storytelling show! I'm Mrids, your host. For this first episode, I wanted to jump right into storytelling where one would not expect it - into the world of international white collar crime, corruption and investigations. Trying to craft a story when your information is missing is challenging and that's where we went with accomplished and respected investigator, master storyteller, compliance and and anti-corruption lawyer, Mike H. Huneke. I sat down with Mike wanted to understand - 
How do lawyers use storytelling to uncover crimes? 

Body language is an extremely important part of telling a story, what is our body language revealing about us when we're guilty?  

Most importantly, how do you tell a story when most of your data is in the shadows?

A master storyteller, a fantastic investigator and master receiver of stories, Mike shares his secret knowledge in finding data in the shadows.

  You know when that moment when you are listening to an investigator tell you how they know a story is not what it appears to be before they reveal the true criminal? That was this episode in a nutshell!

Mike is a partner in the Global Investigations, Enforcement and Compliance and Sanctions, Export Controls, and Anti-Money Laundering practice groups at Hughes Hubbard & Reed.  The Legal 500 has recognized Mike as a “voice of reason when it comes to compliance matters,”

Mike received Lexology’s Client Choice Award for Investigations-USA for 2022 and 2023.

Mike was also recognized as one of four Hughes Hubbard attorneys honored to receive Global Investigations Review’s (GIR’s) “Most Important Development in the Practice or Law of International Investigations” 2020 award
