Understanding

A defence that starts early

Voluntary interview, police custody, search: what is said and seized in the first hours shapes the rest of the procedure. The rule is simple: say nothing without a lawyer.

Misuse of corporate assets, fraud, forgery, undeclared work, reporting failures: these cases combine criminal law, accounting and business life. They demand a defence that understands the company.

Emergency availability, analysis of the procedure, first advice before any statement.

Defence strategy
Study of the criminal file, possible procedural nullities, a defence line built with you.
03
Hearing & aftermath
Pleading, appeals, sentence adjustments: the defence does not stop at the judgment.

Frequently asked questions

Summoned to a voluntary interview: do I need a lawyer?
Yes. The voluntary interview seems harmless, but everything said there goes into the file. You have the right to be assisted by a lawyer: exercising it often changes the outcome of the procedure.
A search at the head office: what should we do?
Call your lawyer immediately, check the legal framework of the search, note the course of events and the documents seized, and make no spontaneous statements. Employees must be informed of their rights.
Is the executive criminally liable for the company’s acts?
They can be, for their personal acts as well as for certain failures committed in the exercise of their duties. A properly constructed delegation of powers is one of the best prevention tools.
What does the legal entity risk?
The company itself can be prosecuted: fines, exclusion from public procurement, dissolution in extreme cases, lasting reputational damage. Its defence is organised separately from that of the executive.
