Business and White Collar Crime Solicitors
Business and white collar crime are among the many terms used synonymously across various jurisdictions to describe the same type of offence, namely financial crime. Common variations on the definition may include economic crime, corporate crime, illicit finance, business crime, and white collar crime.
Business (financial) crime occurs in a corporate setting, typically committed by those of a certain standing (e.g., at a directorial level), involving the fraudulent and dishonest misuse of money, finance or assets. The misconduct, misuse of information, false accounting, market abuse, money laundering and the handling of proceeds of crime (to name but a few) are some of the many ways in which business and white collar crime may arise.
We provide private criminal defence for businesses (and individuals within those businesses, such as directors and managers) who are being investigated or prosecuted by the police and/or a regulatory body for a suspected criminal offence or breach of financial regulations.
