COMPLIANCE / CORPORATE CRIMINAL LAW

PREVENTION:

During the latest years, the public has become more and more aware of corruption and the public prosecutors are dedicating rising efforts in combating financial crimes. Also the governments are fighting corruption and money laundering by issuing norms and regulations which render compliance a very actual and difficult to deal with issue. As a result, commercial activities involve more than ever the risk of being confronted with criminal accusations. Therefore, the risk of becoming involved in public criminal preliminary investigations is substantially increased.

The law firm advises in the following areas:

  • Foresighted advice to avoid and face possible criminal liabilities from the outset
  • Actively avoiding criminal liability
  • Contemplating scenarios in view of optimizing the internal organizational measures
  • Compliance with the continuously changing legal environment
  • Legal assistance in on-going criminal cases in investigation and/or trial phase of criminal matters with the best possible support for both natural persons and legal entities
  • Criminal D&O liability
  • Pragmatic and competent solutions regarding whistleblowing
  • Codes of conduct review and redrafting
  • Corporate analysis for anti-money laundering internal systems
  • Corporate due-diligence review, analysis and assistance in assessing and, as the case may be, re-designing of anti-corruption measures
INVESTIGATION:

Even the most cautious business man can become victim of a white collar crime, be it that, by way of example, the former management committed fraud, business partners manipulated documents or former employees embezzled money. At your option, the incidents will be either object of an internal inspection or of a criminal complaint to the public prosecution office. The latter must be done sometimes in order to relieve the board of directors.

The law office cooperates with the public prosecution office and undertakes all necessary steps in order to facilitate the recovery of the stolen goods, including but not limited to application for office raids, arrest warrants or freezing injunctions. During the investigation process, the law firm assists the public prosecutor and the criminal investigation police department in order to efficiently bring the case to trial.

DEFENCE:

Since it is easier to bring accusations – grounded or unjustified – to the attention of a public prosecutor, anyone can rapidly become the subject of a criminal preliminary investigation. Norbert Haslhofer guides his clients through the entire procedures and provides clear recommendations, which he can draw from his wide experience in the area of criminal law.

At client’s option and in all phases, the law firm exchanges information with either company specialists or with external experts.
