Criminal law has undergone a huge development. Even enterprises, directors and employees may be subject to criminal prosecution.
In economic criminal law, different legal disciplines may overlap. The broad legal knowledge and many years of experience of Schuermans advocaten are in those difficult and delicate moments of paramount importance.
In particular, we think about:
- fraud (among others by directors or employees)
- insider trading
- offenses following bankruptcy or seizure
- environmental infractions and violations on planning
- money-laundering regulations
- cash companies schemes
- infringements of social criminal law.
