Biz Van Gelder is the co-leader of Dickstein Shapiro's White Collar Criminal Defense & Investigations Practice where she focuses on white-collar defense and healthcare cases. Ms. Van Gelder regularly represents clients in congressional and criminal fraud investigations as well as qui tam, False Claims Act, civil RICO, and employment litigation. She has counseled clients-including boards, audit committees, and management-on the development and implementation of internal compliance and ethics programs, the conduct of internal investigations, and Sarbanes-Oxley issues.
In naming her one of DC's top criminal defense lawyers, Washingtonian magazine described Ms. Van Gelder as someone to call if "you find yourself drawn into an awkward congressional investigation, or worse, a grand-jury investigation by the Justice Department or the U.S. Attorney's office."
