House Probes Like ‘Nine-Alarm Fire,’ Law Firms Prep for Democrats

Robert Kelner is quoted by Bloomberg about how law firms are preparing clients for a potential increase in congressional investigations now that Democrats have assumed the majority in the House of Representatives. Mr. Kelner said, “A congressional investigation is like a nine-alarm fire, and really essentially brings the company to a stop until the crisis has been resolved.” Mr. Kelner, who co-heads Covington’s congressional investigations practice, adds, “We have been making our clients aware over the last several months of how to avoid being in harm’s way."
