Assistance to companies during criminal inquiries and proceedings

Companies can be affected by economic crime in different ways. They may be targeted by external individuals, their employees may engage in criminal acts during the course of their employment, or it may also be that employees act criminally against their employer.

Only natural persons can be convicted of a crime but, when a crime has been committed in the course of a company’s business operations, the company may be subject to corporate criminal liability. Companies may also be ordered to pay administrative financial sanctions as a result of such criminal conduct.

We assist companies and their management with all the questions that may arise when the organisation has become part of a preliminary investigation. With our background and experience, we are well acquainted with how criminal investigations are conducted, and what the police and prosecutors may take into consideration during investigations and criminal proceedings.

We also represent companies in proceedings concerning corporate criminal liability or special administrative charges.
