Kendra Marvel's criminal defense practice focuses on white collar criminal litigation and government investigations involving international or cross-border issues.
Kendra represents corporate clients and individuals in white collar criminal matters and DOJ investigations and works directly with clients and the DOJ to resolve complex FCPA investigations, wire fraud and money laundering cases, and investigations under the Swiss Bank Program. Kendra has managed all aspects of litigation in U.S. federal courts and before U.S. government investigators--drafting all pleadings, preparing witnesses for depositions, proffer testimony, and trial, and leading attorney proffer presentations and related negotiations with the government.
One of Kendra's distinct areas of focus is counseling clients facing civil litigation and criminal charges abroad. As a member of the Firm's Latin America team, Kendra is familiar with civil law judicial systems and customs and is able to coordinate seamlessly with local counsel, co-counsel in any parallel U.S. proceedings, and the client to ensure that a consistent global litigation strategy is developed and maintained. She has worked on civil and criminal matters in Ecuador, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia.
