White-Collar Criminal Law

A key focus of our practice is defending clients in white-collar and tax crime cases. These cases are often lengthy and complex, with risks that extend beyond financial penalties to include serious reputational damage. We represent individuals, executives, directors and officers, companies, and witnesses in complex German criminal investigations and court proceedings.

White-collar crime cases are often lengthy, document-intensive, and legally complex. The consequences may extend far beyond fines and include lengthy prison sentences, asset confiscation, professional sanctions, disqualification from management positions, and serious reputational harm.

German investigators and public prosecutors are increasingly specialized, while companies and decision-makers face a growing range of criminal and regulatory risks. Early and coordinated corporate criminal defense is therefore essential.

We defend clients against allegations of breach of trust, fraud, subsidy fraud, money laundering, corruption, bribery, delayed insolvency filings, bankruptcy offenses, accounting crimes, and related tax offenses.

Our lawyers provide strategic representation from the earliest stage of an investigation. In cases involving dawn raids, searches, seizures, asset-freezing orders, or confiscation proceedings, we assess the evidence, protect our clients’ procedural rights, and develop a coordinated defense strategy from the outset.

Early legal advice can be decisive. Contact us before making any statement, submitting documents, or providing information to investigators.
