Areas of Practice

Economic Criminal Law

Modernity has increasingly brought business activity closer to Criminal Law, sometimes making the company’s own operations a target for criminalization, as in cases of environmental crimes and tax crimes, among others.

We provide advice and support for this business relationship with the Public Sector, both in defensive aspects and as assistant prosecutors. In addition, we offer services in the preparation of legal opinions and responses to queries whenever a given operation requires an assessment of criminal risk.

Some examples of our work

  • Advice on the prevention of economic crimes, including money laundering, financial fraud and corruption.
  • Defense in investigations and criminal proceedings related to crimes against the financial system, tax system, capital markets and unfair competition.
  • Analysis and preparation of compliance and corporate integrity programs to avoid criminal offenses.
  • Representation of companies and individuals in negotiations with authorities and control agencies, in addition to the Public Prosecutor’s Office and Federal and State Police.
  • Expertise in environmental, tax, white-collar and consumer crimes.
  • Criminal consultancy in the application of anti-corruption and anti-bribery laws, such as the Brazilian Anti-Corruption Act (Law 12.846/2013) and the FCPA (Foreign Corrupt Practices Act).
  • Risk analysis and internal audits to identify vulnerabilities related to potential economic crimes.
  • Representation in inquiries, legal proceedings, precautionary measures, habeas corpus, etc.
