Criminal Cases Arising from Corporate Disputes

Criminal law tools are often used in corporate disputes—to apply pressure, force the sale of a stake, seize assets, or push a partner out of the business.

Any pretext may serve as grounds for involving law enforcement: verbal agreements, undocumented transactions, management decisions, or other actions that are difficult to interpret unambiguously even under civil law.

The initiation of a criminal case often becomes a turning point in the conflict: assets are frozen, business operations are paralyzed, and the claimant gains leverage in negotiations. Even cases with no real prospects of going to trial serve their purpose—as a means of pressure.

We intervene at any stage—whether preemptively, at the first signs of a conflict, or during a preliminary inquiry, investigation, trial, or appeal.

Drawing on extensive experience in high-profile criminal cases arising from corporate disputes, we offer legal strategies that protect not only our client’s freedom but also their business in times of crisis.
