DOJ Criminal Division Announces Priority Enforcement Areas and Publishes Revised Enforcement Guidance

May 22, 2025 White Paper

On May 12, 2025, the Department of Justice Criminal Division announced significant changes to its corporate white-collar criminal enforcement priorities. In line with the Trump administration’s recalibration toward prioritizing an "America First" agenda, the Criminal Division published a memorandum highlighting new enforcement priorities and modifications to existing corporate white-collar enforcement programs. Notable changes include a reduced emphasis on corporate monitorships, a clearer avenue to qualify for a declination, and a pivot in corporate enforcement activity to protect American interests. 

This White Paper reviews the Criminal Division's newly announced enforcement priorities, as well as the potential impact on corporate white collar enforcement going forward.
