Criminal Law
Criminal proceedings are stressful and move fast. We defend clients in white-collar cases, represent victims and build compliance programmes that protect the business in future.
Typical situations
You received a police summons or notice of criminal prosecution. You don't know what to expect or how to respond.
A commercial dispute escalated into criminal territory. The other side claims you defrauded them and filed charges.
You discovered that an employee was stealing, falsifying accounts or siphoning money from the business.
Someone harmed you through a criminal act. You want to know how to pursue a damages claim.
Your company has had a problem and you want preventive measures: internal rules, training and controls.
The police are investigating your company or its management. You need a defence strategy to protect the business and yourself.
The tax authority has filed a criminal complaint for tax evasion. You're facing investigation and potential prosecution.
Someone attacked your systems, stole data, or defrauded you online. You need to secure digital evidence and file a criminal complaint.

Property crime
In criminal law, time is critical. The sooner we're involved, the more we can influence.
Process
Speed is everything in criminal law. We assess the situation, study the file and set the defence strategy, often within hours.
We don't sit back. We propose evidence, challenge the conduct of law enforcement and look for procedural errors.
The goal isn't just the outcome in court. It's protecting the client's reputation, assets and future throughout the process.
From our practice
White-collar crime
The managing director of a limited liability company (s.r.o.) was charged with taking part in a VAT carousel fraud. We showed that the client had acted in good faith, had put control mechanisms in place and could not have known about the fraudulent chain. The prosecution was discontinued at the pre-trial stage.
Victim representation
A company lost CZK 4 million through fraud by its former sales director and was weighing a criminal complaint against a civil claim. We advised that criminal proceedings would speed up the freezing of assets, and that the civil claim could be pursued within the criminal case itself. Combining the two routes led to full compensation.
