Penal and White Collar Crimes Proceedings
White collar crime is generally identified as nonviolent crime that public officials and businesspeople commit predominantly for their own personal gain.
Clients who are under government investigation require robust representation. Kochanski & Partners is experienced in representing companies, boards of directors, officers and directors, and individuals at all stages of government investigations. Our lawyers tackle cases from initial agency inquiries to full-scale investigations and from preliminary government interviews to trial and beyond. Clients often come to us with their most sensitive matters. We aim to develop effective, cost-efficient solutions to protect our clients’ reputations and rights.
White-collar crime includes the following: commercial fraud, trade secret theft, public corruption, tax evasion, bribery, counterfeiting, money laundering, environmental law violations, illegal pharmaceuticals, antitrust violations and internet scams. Kochanski & Partners helps establish whether an alleged action is really a crime or whether it was simply a legitimate business risk necessary to be taken while managing a company.
