Law relating to tax and economic offences

Companies and even private individuals are more and more frequently affected by investigation and criminal proceedings due to the strengthening and new introduction of criminal offences in the law relating to tax and economic offences. In traditional tax investigation proceedings, we take care of the search through to the settlement or, if this should not be possible, the criminal defence in the main court hearing. Furthermore, we represent our clients in all legal remedy proceedings under criminal law, such as objections, recourse and appeal.

More recently, preventive advice has taken on an ever greater scope of activity. It is a matter of identifying risk configurations as early as possible.
If it has already resulted in evasion, we prepare penalty-avoiding voluntary self-disclosures fully for our clients and accompany them through the entire process through to acknowledgement of the impunity that has occurred.
The criminal prosecution of a tax offence is always accompanied by a tax dispute process, which we take care of first-hand or in collaboration with the present tax advisor. Some of our lawyers work in the tax authority and have been concerned with the relevant matters. You can therefore count on competence.
