The Firm has a strong activity in criminal matters, in particular in the areas of corporate criminal law and criminal matters. He is regularly appointed to defend people concerned by a criminal case, whether it is a question of offenses (forgery and use of forgery, breach of trust, fraud, theft, violence, assault, moral or sexual harassment, abuse of weakness, blackmail, extortion, kidnapping, crimes committed by organized gangs, trafficking in narcotics, arms trafficking, etc.) or crimes (rape, murder, assassination, etc.)
The judicialization of the business world also leads many economic actors to have to answer before the criminal justice or to appeal to it to put an end to illegal behavior committed to their prejudice. This is how the fight against tax fraud (voluntary omission of mandatory declarations, VAT, donation, registration fees, etc.) constitutes a major stake for the State and for public finances. Legislative developments in this area tend to mark an increased penalization of reporting failures, with procedures targeting persons liable for increasingly smaller sums.
Likewise, the world of work is subject to significant penalties, the courts being called upon to rule on practices committed in violation of workers' rights (examples: involuntary violence, lack of recklessness or negligence , moral and sexual harassment, discriminatory behavior, etc.) and to prevent companies from suffering a distortion of competition linked in particular to illegal practices (examples: non-payment of compulsory contributions, concealed work by undeclared employees, employees working hours additional undeclared or employees without a residence permit, non-compliance with health or safety measures, etc.).
Finally, failure to comply with the rules governing the exercise of public functions constitutes an important part of public criminal litigation. Communities, businesses and their leaders are exposed to increased risk, when it comes to activities involving the commitment of the state and public institutions.
