White-Collar Crime

White-collar criminal defense calls for a rare combination: command of criminal law, deep fluency in the business environment, and the ability to move with speed and discretion in situations of extreme reputational risk. FIUS brings those capabilities together in a team that treats each matter with the seriousness it deserves.

We defend executives, directors and companies in investigations involving tax crimes, money laundering, public and private corruption, environmental offenses and crimes against the economic order. We are there from the first hours of a police operation — including emergency habeas corpus, witness preparation and response to search and seizure orders — through appellate proceedings.

At the intersection of criminal and administrative-sanctioning proceedings, we coordinate defense strategy across forums, making sure that a position taken in one does not undermine the defense in another. Where cooperation is the right answer, we structure non-prosecution agreements and plea bargains with judgment — weighing real cost-benefit for the client before any irreversible decision.
