The American Lawyer recently published its 2015 Global Legal Awards naming Pillsbury as one of the elite law firms recognized for the Global Dispute of the Year in the area of Investigations. The Global Legal Awards acknowledge the most distinguished international legal work performed between January 1, 2014 and April 15, 2015 across a wide range of disciplines, including finance, disputes and mergers and acquisitions. The firm serves as counsel to multiple Swiss banks regarding the U.S. Department of Justice's enforcement of its Swiss Bank Program, which provides a path for Swiss banks to resolve potential criminal tax liabilities in the United States. The Program was established through an agreement between the Department of Justice and the Swiss Federal Department of Finance in August 2013. The winners and honorees will be recognized at the Global Legal Awards dinner in September in New York City.
