Criminal

Corporate criminal law covers a specific set of exposures that arise from ordinary business operations: crimes against the tax order (Law 8.137), financial crimes and crimes against the national financial system, bankruptcy crimes and offenses that result from management decisions questioned years later by investigative bodies.

When an investigation begins, what occurs in the first few weeks largely determines the course of the proceedings. Inadequate handling of a deposition, producing documents without legal guidance, a poorly calibrated response to investigating authorities or the absence of representation from the start of the inquiry can compromise the criminal proceedings, the executive's reputation and the company's operations.

Choi Advogados represents business owners and executives at every stage of criminal prosecution: from inquiries and investigative proceedings to non-prosecution agreements (ANPP), from the defense response to trial and appeals. The criminal practice is conducted with the discretion and technical rigor that have defined the firm since 1995.
