Criminal Law, White-Collar Crime

We advise companies and their management in issues related to white-collar crime and depending on the situation, either defend or provide an attack angle.  

Criminal law by nature is very intensive and requires also a special lawyers, different attitude and different set of tools as compared to, for example, drafting a share purchase agreement. Most of the law enfocement in the Baltic states has gained its education and experience in Soviet times or 1990’s. On the one hand, this is the reason why several competitors prefer to outsource everything related to criminal law. LEXTAL to the contrary finds that criminal law, especially as regards tax, insolvency, IP, data protection, competition, environment and management liability, must be attached to the core legal practice and we provide our own seamless service.  

Perhaps the most intense and international case in our practice lasted three years, was administered by us in several jurisdictions including USA, and ended up with successful settlement with US authorities and termination of prosecution for our client.

Dynamic processes of criminal law development in our days may result in complicated business relations, and make it easy to violate various areas of law (competition, taxation, intellectual property, procurement law, etc.). We have team members in every office who have  experience in criminal law, and up-to-date knowledge how to protect the clients from an offense, or defend them in case of suspicion or accusation.
