You May Be Under Investigation — Before You Even Know It
Whether you are a business owner, board member, or private client operating internationally, you may be at risk of legal scrutiny in areas you haven’t anticipated: EU sanctions, tax liabilities, or cross-border criminal exposure.
Do You Recognize Yourself in These Scenarios?
“I didn’t know my client was linked to a sanctioned entity.”
You entered into a legitimate commercial agreement. But one of the counterparties — or their hidden beneficiary — turns out to be on a sanctions list. Suddenly, your bank blocks the transaction, and compliance officers ask questions. Later, law enforcement does too.
We help you determine if your actions crossed the line, defend you if needed, and document your position before it becomes a criminal file.
“The tax authority claims I personally owe money — from my company’s activity.”
A foreign or local tax authority opens a case against your company. Soon, they issue a personal liability claim against you as a director, alleging gross negligence or intentional misreporting.
We analyse whether your case meets the legal threshold for personal liability, respond to tax decisions, and defend you in administrative and criminal proceedings.
“It was a business dispute — now I’m being treated like a criminal.”
A former partner or investor accuses you of fraud. They file a complaint with police, triggering a criminal investigation. Even if you’re innocent, evidence can be misunderstood — and your silence can be used against you.
We intervene early to clarify the nature of the dispute and ensure that your rights are protected before charges are filed.
