In September 2025, the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania (EDPA) announced that it would be implementing a White-Collar Justice Program to strengthen its white- collar enforcement framework. Among other things, the program will “empower Assistant United States Attorneys to aggressively pursue complex investigations and significant new matters on their own initiative.”
This announcement demonstrates another step in federal districts ramping up their white-collar enforcement efforts while encouraging robust procedures for compliance and self-disclosure. This is a trend several years in the making: in September 2022, then-Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco directed U.S. attorneys and others within the DOJ to review their policies on corporate voluntary self-disclosure, and to draft and share a formal written policy to incentivize such self-disclosure, if one was lacking.
