Cross-border cooperation is counsel choreography. Presence is still required for many plea allocutions and some testimony. What you can do remotely is limited and dangerous if unstructured. Unlike other law firms more focused on their relationship with prosecutors, we owe loyalty to only YOU. When you reach out to our law firm, you start with an initial risk-free consultation. You can ask us anything you want. Call 212 300 5196 - attorney on call, 24/7.
Counsel-to-counsel production first.
Privilege-filtered document productions, narrative letters, and term sheets travel farther safely than your stream-of-consciousness WhatsApp essays to an agent. If the government wants devices, images, or account dumps, counsel designs the collection protocol so you do not commit new crimes while cooperating.
Remote interviews are still interviews.
A Zoom with an AUSA creates the same 302 risk as a conference room in Manhattan. Local law may care that you are on their soil speaking to foreign police. Clear modality with both counsel.
What still requires your body in the US.
Change-of-plea hearings, many cooperation commitments, and trial testimony usually demand presence. Do not sell yourself a remote fantasy that the judge will not accept.
Immunity edges stop at the water line.
US use immunity or non-prosecution talk does not automatically bind your home ministry of justice. Map every audience before you perform helpfulness.
Banks and platforms as shadow partners.
Subpoenas and MLATs already pull data while you debate cooperation. Timing counsel outreach early can matter more than theatrical helpfulness later.
Stop conditions.
Write stop rules before the first production: no interviews without letter, no foreign sharing without notice, no expansion into uncharged countries without a plan.
