International/Local White Collar Crime

We are particularly well-known for our expertise in international and local white collar crime cases and routinely represent companies and individuals in high profile, complex and multi-jurisdictional white collar crime cases as well as in mutual judicial assistance proceedings (including extradition) and sanctions work.

A large volume of our work focuses on the search and recovery of assets as well as on the effective representation worldwide in cases of corruption, fraud, money laundering, embezzlement, disloyal management and cybercrime.

We can provide a rounded strategic assessment and understand the challenges faced by all the parties involved. Then we manage the procedures in cooperation with our international partners.

We routinely work across borders and are well-versed in multi-jurisdictional matters, calling upon our network of specialist lawyers for support in other jurisdictions. We also counsel and represent before the courts and authorities in Greece/South-East Europe clients in legal proceedings or investigations of international  white collar/asset recovery cases managed by colleagues or investigators abroad.

Our acclaimed investigations practice handles sophisticated cross-border government-led and internal investigations.

Very frequently corporate vehicles, whether offshore or onshore, will have been used as part of the structure through which money is improperly taken and/or laundered. Insolvency is a key component within the fraud litigator’s arsenal, which we use.

Our litigators are strategic and pragmatic problem-solvers, with particular expertise in crisis management. We anticipate disputes and work with our clients to prevent them. When a dispute arises, we act decisively, diplomatically (and aggressively if necessary) working relentlessly until it is resolved.

With strong roots in Greece, we pride ourselves on being international. With a network of lawyers qualified in in more than 50 jurisdictions, the unique diversity of our network provides clients with valuable expertise in the handling of disputes involving Greece and multiple jurisdictions.

While our expertise is wide ranging, we are not dependent on particular industries and are able to take on major institutions if necessary.
