Competencies

Our core expertise lies in the defence and advisory work for individuals and companies in the fields of business crime and tax criminal law, including cross-border proceedings (“cross-border investigations”), as well as representing injured companies and private individuals.

In addition, we provide comprehensive advice to companies in the areas of compliance and corporate governance. A particular focus is on the structural design and review of compliance management systems, as well as the integration of regulatory requirements, for example in connection with ESG or the use of artificial intelligence.

Another key area of practice is the conception and conduct of internal investigations, as well as criminal due diligences to analyse criminal law risks, particularly in the context of transactions or suspected misconduct.

In the area of crisis management, we assist companies in the strategic handling of compliance and criminal law crises, including coordination with authorities and the development and management of crisis communication.
