Criminal Economic Law – Our Core Expertise
Criminal economic law is one of our core competencies. Our range of services includes not only the individual defence of executives and managers but also compliance-related legal advice and representation of companies.
As a participant in economic life, one can unexpectedly become a suspect in an economic or tax criminal proceeding, even though they believed they had committed no wrongdoing. This often involves offenses such as money laundering, financial statement irregularities, insolvency, tax-related crimes, embezzlement, corruption, and fraud.
We are at your service, both preventively and advisory, even before the commencement of any investigative proceedings. We work with you to proactively identify and eliminate compliance risks, thereby cost-effectively minimizing the risk of penalties, fines, or other regulatory sanctions. In addition to substantial financial damages that could potentially jeopardize your existence, this proactive approach also reduces the risk of losing your reputation with customers and business partners.
We take over communication with investigative authorities and provide competent legal advice in:
Preliminary proceedings,
Intermediate proceedings,
Main proceedings, and
Appellate proceedings.
In addition to criminal sanctions, there is often the risk of being held civilly liable after the conclusion of criminal proceedings. Furthermore, a criminal conviction can, under certain circumstances, result in professional prohibition.
Please do not hesitate to contact us in such cases, so that we can promptly discuss the next steps together.
