On this episode of The Bracewell Sidebar, we talk with their partner Jeff Vaden about the world of white-collar criminal defense. They look at the different components of an open criminal investigation, how to handle it and, more importantly, how you can prepare. Jeff is a partner in Bracewell's Houston office and a former federal prosecutor who investigated and prosecuted cases involving bank fraud, public corruption, export controls, sanctions, counterterrorism and national security.
