Criminal, Corporate & Financial Investigations

A commercial grievance should not be mistaken for a criminal offence, nor should criminal exposure be dismissed because a business relationship exists.

What the matter
actually requires.

A commercial grievance should not be mistaken for a criminal offence, nor should criminal exposure be dismissed because a business relationship exists.

We examine the statutory elements of alleged wrongdoing, the documents and digital material on which an accusation depends, and the procedural risks created by statements, searches and investigations.

Where corporate misconduct, data extraction, financial allegations or breach of confidence gives rise to parallel remedies, we consider criminal procedure alongside civil protection without conflating the two.

THE QUESTION WE HELP YOU ADDRESS
What conduct does the evidence establish under the relevant offence?
