Business crime

Corporate and tax crimes.

Assistance in proceedings involving directors, businesses and professionals: corporate offences, tax crimes, bankruptcy offences, false statements, omitted payments and documentary allegations.

Documents

Statements, records and roles

The first level of analysis concerns accounting, corporate and tax documents, role reconstruction and verification of delegations or functions actually exercised.

The defence must isolate personal conduct, knowledge, decision-making powers and the link between formal role and concrete activity.

Operational profiles

Defence work must be built on documents, timing and concrete aims.

No standard formula: every step depends on procedural position and available material.

Tax crimes

Tax crimes

Analysis of returns, payments, thresholds, tax documents and management roles.

Bankruptcy offences

Bankruptcy offences

Reconstruction of transactions, alleged diversions, records and company condition.

Directors

Directors

Distinction between formal role, delegations, actual powers and personal conduct.

Strategy

Criminal technique and economic reading

These proceedings require coordination between criminal law issues, accounting data and economic reconstruction of the disputed transaction.

The defence line may involve technical consultants, documentary productions, written submissions, procedural interaction and assessment of remedies.

Defence method

Rigorous document review and attention to the person.

Every choice is assessed on the actual file: timing, evidence, procedural risk and human impact of the proceedings.

Documents

Selective file review

Identification of truly decisive points without dispersing defence work into marginal issues.

Choices

Procedural conduct

Assessment of statements, submissions, productions, applications and remedies according to the procedural stage.

Person

Human impact of proceedings

Criminal proceedings may feel like a first conviction before judgment. Defence work must take this into account with rigour and clarity.
