Criminal law and compliance
Our criminal law team provides support for a variety of criminal law matters. We assist public authorities, small and large companies, entrepreneurs and individuals who are suspects or victims of crimes. We also advise our clients on the criminal law risks they may expose themselves to and how to avoid or manage them.
Assistance from the very beginning of criminal proceedings
Criminal investigations can be very complex and lengthy. By being involved early, we can identify the possible consequences and advise on how to defend your interests in the best way possible. Our team offers support from the very first step to the end of criminal proceedings. This includes:
- provide assistance during an interrogation or confrontation;
- contest a seizure and seek restitution;
- request access to criminal records to get a better view of your case;
- request additional research;
- representing your interests in court.
Our approach: discretion, empathy and result-oriented
Our priority is to completely relieve you of your criminal law concerns so that you can continue to focus on your core business. Our criminal law team attaches great importance to discretion and empathy, given the sensitivities inherent in criminal cases. We listen to your concerns and together we seek the most appropriate solutions.
Seeking the best solution
Our criminal law team always strives for the most favourable outcome, taking into account personal and legal implications. This means that we will also explore alternative – and potentially efficient – handling of your case, by, among other things:
- reaching a settlement;
- participating in criminal mediation;
If it comes to litigation, you can count on a determined defence of your interests.
Experience in complex criminal proceedings
Our criminal law team also has extensive experience in criminal proceedings before various courts, such as:
- Court of Cassation;
- Constitutional Court;
- European Court of Justice;
- European Court of Human Rights;
Several of our lawyers have particular expertise in cassation proceedings in criminal cases.
Since crimes can also have disciplinary consequences for some, we also provide support for various disciplinary bodies.
