Commercial criminal law

With our many years of experience and specialization in criminal law, we advise and defend you in all phases of white-collar criminal proceedings.
Our work ranges from preventive advice (criminal compliance) to defense in preliminary proceedings, main hearings and appeal proceedings.
In a corporate criminal crisis, we are your first point of contact and develop an optimal overall strategy to limit damage to the company’s reputation both internally and externally, to manage individual risks through the coordinated organization of a network of individual defense attorneys and to limit or avoid collateral consequences of criminal proceedings such as dismissal constraints, procurement bans or claims for damages with damaging consequences for your company.

In addition to the individual defense of accused persons, our range of services includes the defense against coercive measures and sanctions in criminal proceedings such as searches and seizures in rem with a subsequent confiscation order for asset recovery in the interests of your company as well as the defense against impending corporate fines.
In addition, we also enforce tortious claims for damages on behalf of our clients – sometimes in cooperation with law firms specializing in civil law – in adhesion proceedings or in civil proceedings if there is a connection to economic crimes.

Our expertise in white-collar criminal law covers a wide range of specialist areas in which criminal (procedural) law is combined with substantive law.
In addition to the classic offense areas such as embezzlement, fraud and money laundering, we also advise and represent clients in proceedings in special areas of white-collar criminal law in the broader sense, including employment, insolvency, medical and environmental criminal law.
