Criminal & white-collar litigation
Defence in economic offence, banking offence and corruption proceedings, and related investigations.
We act in criminal proceedings arising from commercial activity: banking offences, revenue and customs matters, money laundering, and corruption proceedings before the Special Court.
This work often begins before any charge is filed, at the investigation stage, when a company or an individual receives a request for documents or a summons from an investigating agency. What is said and produced at that stage shapes everything that follows.
We also act in general criminal defence under the National Penal Code 2074.
