    Criminal Proceedings

    Within our criminal proceedings practice, we focus on providing services in the field of white-collar crime. We offer support to entrepreneurs, partners, management board members, managerial staff, and individuals holding key positions in organizations.

    We specialize in criminal handling of corporate disputes. In such multifaceted conflicts, criminal elements very often emerge.

    We assist clients at all stages of criminal proceedings. From preventive actions, through preparatory proceedings, to representation in court. We are always available for immediate assistance in case of unannounced actions by the Police or other services, including unexpected searches, detentions, or arrests.

    When preparing tactics for any crisis situation, we draw on many years of experience in dealing with law enforcement agencies and knowledge of business matters. We adapt our case management approach to the specifics of the factual circumstances and the level of risk involved.

    We advise clients on minimizing liability, and we prepare and implement defense strategies. We also represent victims, asserting their rights within criminal proceedings. Justified pressure exerted within criminal proceedings is often a faster and more effective tool for resolving a dispute than a classic civil case.

    At the request of our clients, we prepare and conduct internal investigative proceedings aimed at identifying irregularities, assessing the level of legal risk within the organization, or preparing it for potential criminal or regulatory proceedings. We operate with the highest standards of confidentiality, independence, and compliance with regulations.

    Our dispute resolution practice has been recognized in the international Legal 500 ranking, and the firm’s lawyers took 1st place in the category “Court dispute resolution and arbitration” in the Rzeczpospolita ranking.
