A summons from investigators, a search, a complaint from a business partner: in criminal matters, the first few hours are critical. What is said and handed over at this stage impacts everything that follows.
White-Collar Criminal Law
Prendre contact↓Les situations
01 — Misuse of corporate assets
Using company assets or credit in a way that is contrary to its interests for personal gain. These prosecutions often arise from conflicts between partners or insolvency proceedings: the firm also assesses the civil implications of these cases.
02 — Fraud
Deceptive practices intended to obtain funds, property, or a commitment, such as forged documents, false pretenses, or misleading schemes. The firm defends those accused and supports corporate victims from the initial complaint through to compensation.
03 — Securities offenses
Insider trading, market manipulation, and the dissemination of misleading information. These cases often involve both a criminal investigation and proceedings before a regulator, which must be managed simultaneously.
04 — Money laundering
An offense that can be added to other charges and may involve seemingly ordinary financial transactions. The firm analyzes the disputed cash flows and the level of knowledge attributed to the client.
05 — Breaches of probity
Corruption, influence peddling, favoritism, and illegal taking of interest. For legal entities, some of these cases may be resolved through a deferred prosecution agreement (CJIP), the advisability of which must be carefully weighed.
