Corporate Criminal Law
An enterprise may be punished if a statutory provision that forms a basis for punishment has been violated by someone on behalf of the enterprise. This also applies to public enterprises, and the enterprise can be punished even though no individual can.
We are leaders on corporate criminal law and have extensive experience from a number of demanding cases that involve a major legal and political risk in addition to the risk of damage to the enterprise's reputation. In such cases, it is crucial that the lawyer's integrity is high. We also have in-depth knowledge of foreign rules that may form a basis for corporate penalty, including the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the UK Bribery Act
