Schalast | White-Collar & Tax Criminal Law

White-Collar and tax criminal law is dynamic and complex - often with far-reaching consequences for the companies concerned and their decision-makers. Our white-collar and tax criminal law practice group offers highly specialized defense and strategic advice in all phases of criminal proceedings - discreet, assertive and commercially minded.

We combine criminal law excellence with commercial expertise. Our team is active in both individual and corporate defense and has extensive experience in working with law enforcement authorities, tax authorities and corporate legal and compliance departments. We support our clients in a targeted manner - preventively through structured criminal law risk analyses, as well as reactively in the event of searches, seizures and investigations by public prosecutors.

Industry knowledge, procedural security and interdisciplinary cooperation - in particular with the firm's internal practice groups Compliance, Corporate, Tax and Antitrust Law - guarantee an effective and coordinated defense even in complex constellations.
