White-collar criminal law

As a lawyer with experience in an international corporate law firm, I specialize in defending individuals in white-collar criminal proceedings. These types of proceedings can be quite extensive. They can result in not only financial sanctions and reputational damage but also high fines, prison sentences that can span multiple years, and professional bans—such as being prohibited from working as a managing director.

White-collar criminal law is becoming increasingly important on political, social, and economic fronts. As a result, investigating authorities and public prosecutors are becoming more specialized, and laws and regulations are constantly being created to punish white-collar crimes more severely.

Early contact with a defense lawyer experienced in white-collar criminal law can be crucial in such proceedings. Such a lawyer can help counter biased prosecution and often help achieve a discreet settlement of the proceedings.
