Companies are faced with ever more challenges worldwide. Globalization is growing, competition and cost pressures are rising; at the same time, regulation is being tightened and investigation authorities increasingly initiate proceedings against companies and their managers. This development is accompanied by national authorities imposing larger fines on companies. Moreover, growing media interest in investigative proceedings against companies threatens to cause considerable damage to their reputation.

We advise and defend companies and their executives in criminal and administrative offense proceedings – both in preliminary proceedings and in court. Our experts have many years of experience in dealing with investigating authorities, which is of particular importance for the protection of corporate interests. Due to our unique network as the world's largest law firm, we are also able to represent our clients in transnational investigation proceedings. We also have extensive expertise in legal assistance matters.

• Corporate defense
