Matters

Situations in which
the firm acts

  • Police interview and investigation

    A lawyer may be requested from the moment police action begins. What is said at that stage stays on the file for the rest of the case: a first interview is never a formality.

  • Judicial investigation

    Once an investigating judge is appointed, the defence has rights of its own: access to the file, applications for investigative steps, challenges to measures ordered. The firm exercises them as the investigation unfolds.

  • Criminal courts

    The firm represents clients before the Luxembourg trial courts and on appeal.

  • Preparing a defence

    A defence rests on examining whether the procedure was properly followed as much as on arguing the facts. Both are worked on together.

  • White-collar crime

    Misuse of corporate assets, fraudulent bankruptcy, forgery, fraud, breaches of the rules governing a regulated activity: these cases combine legal technicality with an understanding of how a business actually runs.

  • Directors and companies

    A director may be prosecuted at the same time as the company. The firm checks that the interests of the two do not conflict before agreeing to act.

  • Victims of an offence

    The firm acts for people who have suffered a criminal offence, from making the complaint through to claiming compensation.

  • Joining as a civil party

    Joining criminal proceedings as a civil party gives access to the file and the right to request investigative steps. The firm considers with the client whether to do so, and when.
