Representative Highlights
- Confidential - Publicly-traded medical information technology company. Secured the dismissal of charges against a former regional vice president for a publicly-traded medical information technology company. He was brought in after the Department of Justice's Corporate Fraud Task Force indicted the company's vice president. Mr. Bowers convinced the task force to drop all charges.
- Confidential - internal investigation. Secured a non-prosecution agreement from the Brooklyn US Attorney's Office for what had been the third-largest retail jewelry chain in the country. He was brought in when discussions between the prosecutors and the board of directors stalled. Under a very tight deadline, Mr. Bowers completed a modified internal investigation and obtained a non-prosecution agreement.
