Professional Corporate Criminal Defense

Even the suspicion of a criminal offense can have devastating legal and social consequences. These consequences may include the image being damaged or the company having to shut down. For individuals, a conviction may result in a criminal record, hefty fines, and the refusal of a Certificate of Good Conduct. Securing fast, reliable advice from a corporate crime lawyer is the most effective way to protect your future.

Immediate Assistance with Financial Investigation Raids

If the police or other financial investigatory body conducts a raid, you must contact a corporate criminal lawyer immediately. Early intervention allows us to build a robust litigation strategy and manage the situation before it escalates.

Financial Investigation Raid: Employee Action Checklist

  1. Request Identification: Ask the officers for their ID and the search warrant. Take a photo or scan these documents.
  2. Call the Lawyer Immediately: Notify your corporate criminal lawyer right away. Do not wait.
  3. Stay Silent: You are not required to answer substantive questions without a lawyer present. Politely decline to comment until your corporate lawyer arrives.
  4. Appoint One Spokesperson: Only one designated person should communicate with the officers to avoid conflicting statements.
  5. Do Not Obstruct: Allow them to do their job, but do not volunteer extra information or help them find things unless legally required.
  6. Don’t Delete Anything: Never delete files, shred documents, or hide devices during a raid. This can be seen as evidence tampering.
  7. Get a Receipt: Before they leave, ensure you receive an official list of every item, document, or digital device seized.
