The Latest on the Law: Updates from the Boston Bar

Under the United States Sentencing Guidelines, loss is a critical factor in calculating a sentence for a defendant facing white-collar criminal charges.

Banks, with the potential to impact how courts in Massachusetts and across the country approach loss calculations moving forward.
