Strategies to Defend Against Business and Corporate Crimes
In our defense strategy, we advise our corporate and business clients to take advantage of their right to remain silent and their right to talk to an attorney. We encourage you not to speak to government investigators before consulting with us. Investigators from the Security and Exchange Commission, FBI or Justice Department may ask you questions that can be used as evidence against you.
There are unique defenses that we may be able to use in these cases. For example, a company may agree to a deferred prosecution agreement. A deferred prosecution agreement is when charges are filed against a company but if the company is in good standing and does not violate any laws for two years, the charges are dropped after paying a fine. Another option in business and corporate crimes is called a nonprosecution agreement. In this type of agreement, the company pays the fine without criminal charges or a guilty plea. We know all options and will explore them with you.
