Legal representation and defence

The management of a company can quickly be confronted with criminal charges. But the company itself can also be the focus of (criminal) investigations. It is advisable, therefore, to defend the interests of the company and of the management independently by qualified lawyers.

Fines and other sanctions

Many German laws (BImSchG, GWG, AÜG, EU-DSGVO, etc.) not only formulate clear requirements for actions by companies and individuals, they all also provide for sanctions in the event of a violation. The company as a whole can be sanctioned (§§ 30 and 130 OWiG) for the misconduct of individuals.

Asset forfeiture

Whether on the basis of a fine or as a so-called third party in criminal proceedings: Companies can be obliged to repay the "profit" of a criminal offence (e.g. by the management). Since this confiscation (§§ 73 ff StGB) has been considerably expanded, an early representation of the company's interests has become even more important!
