White-collar crime
Alexandre de Senarclens, Barnabas Denes, Raphaël Faure
Economic and administrative criminal law outlines complex boundaries for wrongful conduct. For those involved in economic activity, this results in an increased risk of being subject to investigations and complaints, or of being victims of criminal offenses, with significant risks of severe penalties and serious damage.
We advise and represent companies, individuals and governments in complex, often cross-border criminal proceedings, typically in cases of fraud, corruption, money laundering, and cybercrime. We assist our clients in the search and seizure of assets derived from cross-border fraud, conduct internal investigations, and offer compliance assistance to assess potential criminal and regulatory violations. We represent our clients before the Swiss authorities, assist them in mutual legal assistance and extradition proceedings, and benefit from an international network of lawyers specializing in this field with whom we work regularly.
