Fraud and Breach of Trust

Defense against allegations of fraud (§ 263 German Criminal Code) and breach of trust (§ 266 German Criminal Code).

Fraud and breach of trust are serious accusations that can have not only legal but also personal and professional consequences. Whether it's about alleged deception in business transactions or a supposed violation of fiduciary duties – such accusations can create immense pressure and damage trust in your integrity.

What is the allegation?

In fraud cases (§ 263), it is claimed that deception led to a financial disposition that harmed the victim. In breach of trust cases (§ 266), the allegation is the abusive use of entrusted assets.

What are the risks?

Such allegations may lead to high claims for damages, imprisonment, and – in the worst-case scenario – irreparable damage to your reputation and professional future. Proceedings can be lengthy and stressful, straining both personal and business relationships. Our task is to minimize these risks.

Corruption Offenses

Legal advice and defense regarding bribery and corruption in business transactions (§§ 299 et seq. German Criminal Code).

Allegations of corruption, such as bribery in business dealings, can have far-reaching consequences for companies and executives. Even suspicion alone can severely affect your reputation and career.

What is the allegation?

Corruption charges typically involve offering or accepting benefits in a business context. It is often alleged that such conduct distorts competition or improperly influences business partners.

What are the risks?

In addition to criminal consequences, you may face reputational damage, loss of professional standing, and exclusion from public tenders in certain industries. These cases often involve international investigative authorities, making precise and targeted defense essential.

Why are we the right partner?

Our firm is well-versed in the legal and economic complexities of corruption offenses. We employ a detailed, discreet, and well-founded defense strategy to sustainably protect your interests. We fight resolutely for your freedom and career while preserving your integrity.

Insolvency Offenses

Assistance with allegations of delaying insolvency proceedings (§ 15a Insolvency Code), bankruptcy (§ 283 German Criminal Code), and other insolvency-related crimes.

Insolvency offenses involve accusations related to corporate insolvency, such as preferential treatment of creditors or the concealment of assets.

What is the allegation?

It is often claimed that financial distress was recognized too late, insolvency proceedings were not properly initiated, or company assets were transferred to private holdings shortly before filing for insolvency. These cases are complex and often involve insolvency courts and administrators.

What are the risks?

Business owners and executives may face significant penalties, asset seizures, or prison sentences. Particularly severe is the risk of disqualification from serving as a managing director under § 6 of the GmbH Act, which can last two years.

Why are we the right partner?

Through precise analysis and a strategic defense approach, we secure your legal standing and support you in maintaining your role in management.

Capital Markets Criminal Law

Defense against insider trading (§ 119 German Securities Trading Act) and market manipulation (§ 120).

These offenses involve illegal use of non-public information or manipulation of stock prices.

What is the allegation?

Insider trading assumes misuse of confidential information for personal gain. Market manipulation refers to distorting stock prices or market parameters.

What are the risks?

High fines, prison sentences, and permanent industry bans may follow. In certain roles (e.g., broker), the minimum sentence is one year.

Customs Criminal Law & Anti-Dumping Duty Evasion

Focus on violations in international trade, particularly the evasion of anti-dumping duties on goods from non-EU countries.

What is the allegation?

Avoiding customs duties through misrepresentation of origin or value of goods – e.g., Chinese products like solar panels or electric vehicles – constitutes smuggling, tax evasion, or fraud.

What are the risks?

These include massive fines, imprisonment, and business disruption. Investigations often involve pre-trial detention and severe reputational harm.

Why are we the right partner?

We have extensive experience with complex customs matters and international trade law, offering strategic, precise defense.

Money Laundering

Authorities have become increasingly vigilant regarding money laundering (§ 261). Even third parties can be implicated unintentionally.
