Criminal defense
-
Tax-related criminal proceedings are among the most sensitive and demanding areas of practice. We advise and defend you from the very first stage — whether in investigations, during tax audits with potential criminal implications, or in voluntary disclosure processes aimed at avoiding prosecution. If proceedings cannot be avoided, we represent you with the highest expertise before national fiscal courts as well as criminal courts.
We consider thorough and early preparation to be the cornerstone of any successful defence. From the outset, we work with you to define a coherent narrative and the right strategic course. This ensures consistency across all stages of the proceedings, strengthens your position before the authorities and courts, and maximizes the prospects of a favourable outcome. Our approach is pragmatic and precise: safeguarding your rights, protecting your reputation, and aiming for sustainable solutions.
We defend complex matters such as cum-ex and other structured transactions with the same commitment as voluntary disclosures or regularization processes. By combining in-depth tax expertise with extensive courtroom experience, we cover the full spectrum of tax-related criminal risks — always with the aim of achieving the most effective and sustainable solution for our clients.
