Andrew T. Wise

Andrew Wise defends clients in white collar criminal and civil trials and represents multinational companies in fraud and anti-corruption investigations. The most recent edition of Chambers USA recognized Mr. Wise for his white-collar crime and government investigations work and described him as "highly thought of for his white-collar expertise … has key experience in taking cases to trial as well as handling complex investigations," and "extraordinarily detailed, passionate, whip smart and just a great, great advocate."

Mr. Wise has defended clients in cases involving the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA), mail and wire fraud, bribery and honest services fraud, price-fixing, and tax fraud. In addition, he has extensive experience handling cases involving investigation-related offenses such as perjury, false statements, and obstruction of justice.

In addition to his trial work, Mr. Wise has conducted internal investigations into potential violations of U.S. laws and regulations, including most frequently the FCPA, and has advised clients on compliance challenges and enforcement issues arising out of those investigations. He has written and spoken on navigating simultaneous criminal investigations and civil proceedings and mitigating the collateral consequences of governmental enforcement actions.

Mr. Wise also served as deputy on a three-year Department of Justice (DOJ)/Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) FCPA monitorship and in that capacity led multiple site visits and interfaced with the company and regulators regarding various aspects of the company's anti-corruption compliance program, with a specific focus on investigations, discipline, and incentives.

In addition to his recognition by Chambers, Mr. Wise has been named as one of Washington’s top trial and white collar crime lawyers by Washingtonian Magazine and recognized by Ethisphere Institute as one of the "Attorneys Who Matter" because of his work in the enforcement and compliance areas.

Before joining Miller & Chevalier, Mr. Wise worked at the Public Defender Service for the District of Columbia, where he defended indigent clients charged with serious criminal offenses in the District of Columbia Superior Court. During his career, Mr. Wise has tried more than 50 cases to resolution before juries and judges in federal and state courts.
