Preventive advice and structured fact-finding in corporate criminal matters
Compliance violations can jeopardise companies and individuals alike. Whether in the run-up to an investigation or in response to concrete suspicions: a structured approach is critical. We advise at every stage, from prevention through internal investigation to interaction with the authorities.
Design and review of compliance management systems, risk analysis and development of guidelines tailored to the criminal-law risks of the specific industry and business model.
Independent, legally privileged investigations into compliance incidents. From scoping and evidence preservation through interviews to the final report, all within the framework of applicable law.
Establishing and advising on internal reporting channels in line with the German Whistleblower Protection Act (Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz). Assessment of incoming reports and managing follow-up measures.
Assessment of compliance risks in the context of corporate transactions. Identification of criminal-law exposure and development of risk-mitigation strategies.
Strategic advice on interaction with prosecutorial authorities and regulatory bodies. Coordinating voluntary disclosures and managing document-production requests.
Immediate assistance at the onset of investigations and dawn raids. Stabilising the situation, securing evidence and protecting the rights of the company and its employees.
Accompanying the implementation of compliance measures following an investigation. Ongoing review of the effectiveness of remediation steps and reporting to stakeholders.
Proactive counsel today prevents criminal-law proceedings tomorrow.
The initial consultation is free of charge.
