Criminal Law and Economic Criminal Law

Specialized defense for business owners and executives

Economic Criminal Law is a highly specialized field that demands in-depth technical knowledge of both criminal law and corporate law. At HFD, we have experienced attorneys defending business owners, executives, and managers in investigations and criminal proceedings of an economic nature.

We act from the investigative stage — monitoring police inquiries and proceedings before the Public Prosecutor's Office — through to trial defense, always with a solid procedural strategy and a focus on protecting our clients' fundamental rights.
