CRIMINAL LAW

The impact of criminal law on business and predictability of a criminal act, fault or misdemeanor becomes more and more significant for corporates from both individual employee and management and board liability aspects.

Criminal proceedings often pose a challenge to firms and their managers, not only because criminal sanctions, be it imprisonment or administrative or penal fines, can be severe, but also due to other factors such as prestige loss and compliance failures. The law enforcement authorities want specific, transparent, adequate prompt and to the point answers to their questions. In such circumstances assistance can come only from a professional who knows the law and the working methods of the law enforcement bodies, and who can also foresee and manage the crisis and present strategies that take into account the needs and risks presented by all those who are involved in the matter.

Our team is specifically experienced in that area, no matter the issue is per se, singular and independent, or connected to a compliance case. What matters for us is prevention of even a simplest, insignificant seemed investigations or criminal cases at the very beginning for involved employees and even non-involved but liable managers to sleep the sleep of the just.
