Enforcement actions by state authorities, media coverage, threat of criminal and civil liability – assisting in criminal matters requires specific strategic skills and sensitivity.
We advise and defend companies, executives, and individuals in all white-collar crime related matters. We regularly represent clients in high-profile, complex national and cross-border criminal proceedings and defend corporations in government investigations.
We assist companies to conduct internal investigations into potential misconducts. This may aid to prepare the best possible defence strategy or to clarify alleged breaches of duty and pursue any resulting claims. To manage risks in advance, we also support companies in compliance and preventive actions (training, internal guidelines).
Criminal matters often touch other areas of law and specific questions (e.g. employment law, data protection law, competition law), which is why we cooperate closely with the experts from our law firm's teams if required. We can also draw on our network of experts in non-legal areas, such as economic experts, IT forensics or PR consultants.
