Criminal Defense for Business

Defense of entrepreneurs and top-managers in economic and official-misconduct cases at every stage of the process.

+7 (905) 374-41-76

Criminal prosecution of a business owner or manager is never just a legal problem. It is a threat to the company itself — frozen accounts, seized assets, blocked transactions, pressure on employees and counterparties. The first 48 hours after a criminal case is opened often decide the entire outcome.

We defend entrepreneurs in criminal cases of economic, official and tax nature at every stage: from pre-investigation review to cassation. Our approach — engage as early as possible, control every procedural step, and build a defense that dismantles the prosecution position piece by piece.

What we do

A team with decades of practice in defending business in criminal cases of any complexity.

Pre-investigation

We intervene at the earliest stage — accompanying interviews, preventing unfounded criminal cases.

During investigation

We attend every interview, search, seizure and expert examination. We control procedural compliance.

In court

We build a defense based on the evidence record, work with experts and challenge procedural violations.

Economic crimes

Fraud, embezzlement, tax evasion, illegal banking activity, fraudulent bankruptcy.

Official misconduct

Abuse of office, bribery, misuse of powers — defense for both defendants and witnesses.

Criminal & administrative overlap

We manage the intersection with tax, antimonopoly and administrative proceedings.

Как мы работаем

  1. 01 Urgent response We intervene immediately: accompany detentions, searches, interviews, prevent escalation.
  2. 02 Position We study the case materials, define the defense position and prepare a procedural strategy.
  3. 03 Investigation We attend all investigative actions, submit petitions, challenge unlawful decisions.
  4. 04 Trial We build a defense in court, work with experts and use all procedural rights of the defense.
The price of an error in a criminal case is measured in years. The only correct strategy is to engage a defense attorney on day one — long before the first interview with an investigator.
