Internal Investigation & Criminal Law

Criminal investigations move fast. Whether you're defending against allegations or pursuing justice after a cyberattack, I help you take control of the process and protect your interests.

  • I support companies in conducting internal investigations to clarify compliance concerns, mitigate liability, and strengthen organizational integrity. My services include:

    • Planning and conducting internal investigations in response to specific suspicions or unclear risk scenarios

    • Advise for collecting and analyzing evidence

    • Interviewing employees and coordinating with compliance teams, IT forensics, or appointed monitors.

    • Preventing or containing enforcement action, such as dawn raids, seizures, or prolonged proceedings

    • Advising on whistleblower systems, including legal implementation under the EU Whistleblower Directive

    • Translating findings into remediation, advising supervisory bodies and helping prevent future misconduct

  • I advise and represent companies and executives in criminal law matters — both as defendants and as victims of cybercrime. Whether facing allegations or responding to attacks, I provide strategic, discreet, and legally sound support. My services include:

    • Legal assessment of cyber incidents and internal suspicions, including potential criminal liability or exposure

    • Defense in IT-related criminal proceedings

    • Managing interactions with authorities (e.g. prosecutors, police, regulatory bodies) and ensuring procedural safeguards

    • Protecting rights during searches, interrogations, and dawn raids

    • Support for companies targeted by cybercriminals, including ransomware, phishing, or insider attacks

    • Filing criminal complaints, coordination in persevering digital evidence, and coordinating with law enforcement
