The research topic of attorneys at work for white-collar offenders is traditionally associated with lawyers who help defendants while they are in the criminal justice system. During police investigation, court prosecution, and incarceration, an attorney can help the client in a subjective defense to limit the sanctions imposed on the client from the criminal justice system. The focus of research is then whether white-collar offenders are less likely to be incarcerated and receive shorter sentences compared to other offenders, whether the special sensitivity hypothesis or the special resilience hypothesis applies to white-collar offenders, and other research topics related to law enforcement toward this group of offenders. In any event, standards of professional conduct indicate that lawyers are expected to zealously assert the client’s position.

Three themes are particularly noteworthy when distinguishing white-collar defense strategies from other defense strategies by attorneys. First, the role of white-collar attorneys is radically different from the typical criminal lawyer who defends a person suspected of and charged with street crime. For instance, the former spends far more time on each case, both in terms of workload and in terms of calendar time. Second, information control is at the center of the white-collar attorney’s work. The attorney is concerned with acquisition of crucial information and keeps damaging information out of the hands of public authorities such as municipalities, police investigators, and public prosecutors. A third theme centers on a major dilemma of these attorneys: how to defend vigorously the client without thereby becoming a party to the criminal act.
