Mr. Rogers has practiced exclusively in the area of litigation, with particular emphasis in the areas of white collar criminal defense, related regulatory matters, complex commercial matters, and product liability defense. He represents individuals and companies in a wide range of federal and state criminal investigations and prosecutions, including in the areas of health care, securities, foreign corrupt practice, defense contracting, environmental enforcement, commodities, taxation and banking.

As part of his criminal defense practice, he has supervised and conducted numerous corporate internal investigations for closely held and publicly traded companies. He has also counseled officers, owners and in-house counsel as to corporate internal investigations, both in response to actions initiated by law enforcement personnel, and in an effort to self-discover the existence and scope of potential liabilities prior to law enforcement involvement. His civil practice includes the representation of litigants in complex civil lawsuits, including matters involving civil RICO and the civil False Claims Act, and the defense and management of toxic tort claims, including the defense and management of hundreds of asbestos lawsuits for major corporations.

While with the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Mr. Rogers instructed other assistant U.S. attorneys at the Trial Advocacy and Appellate Advocacy Institutes of the Department of Justice in Washington, D.C. He received special commendation and special achievement awards from the Department of Justice for his service.
