White-collar Crime 

We protect the interests of managers and companies – both before charges are laid, and if a case eventually goes to court. 

We provide support in criminal and criminal-fiscal cases – from initial contact with the prosecutor's office, through internal investigations and defense in court. We respond to allegations of corruption, cybercrimes, tax crimes and collective liability. We minimize legal, financial and reputational risks before they become a major challenge for a company and its managers.
