White-collar & investigations

We act in investigations, inquiries, and proceedings that interface directly with corporate assets, administrative acts, and public narrative. Criminal defense at this layer rarely stands alone — it coexists with public civil actions, regulatory inspections, antitrust fronts, and media exposure. Criminal defense is treated as one of the fronts of the matter, not as an island.

Pillars

How the firm approaches the matter.

01

Defense in investigations and inquiries

Engagement from the pre-charge phase in matters conducted by police authorities, the Federal Prosecutor's Office (MPF), the Financial Activities Control Council (COAF), and administrative bodies, with cross-reading of the other fronts of the case.

02

Court defense

Practice across all instances, with oral arguments before the appellate and supreme courts. The legal theory is presented alongside the client's institutional narrative before stakeholders and the market.

03

Institutional negotiations

Construction of negotiated outcomes with public authorities — agreements, conduct-adjustment terms (TAC), and non-prosecution agreements — always mapping the collateral impact on the administrative, civil, and reputational fronts.
