White-Collar Crime

Practical advice in white-collar crime

We provide preventive advice and representation in white-collar crime matters. Our team assists companies, management board members and other individuals in criminal and administrative proceedings involving business activities. We support clients from the first internal assessment or pre-trial stage through to court proceedings.

Early response, defense strategy and management responsibility

White-collar crime matters require a timely and coordinated response, careful assessment of the available evidence and a clear understanding of procedural risks. Decisions made at an early stage may affect the course of an investigation, the company’s interests and the personal position of management board members.

We advise companies and individuals on responding to allegations and investigations, assessing available evidence and developing an appropriate legal and defense strategy. We also assist where the interests of a company and its management may diverge or where an internal review is needed before responding to authorities.
