White Collar Crimes

White collar and financial crime proceedings are among the most serious legal situations an individual or company can face. The consequences — attachment of assets, prosecution, reputational damage — can be far-reaching and move quickly. Speed of response and quality of preparation matter enormously.
Adwise Legal has an extensive practice in this area. We have represented individuals, directors, and corporate entities at every stage: from the first notice or inquiry, through to attachment proceedings, prosecution, and appellate hearings. We advise clients on their rights and obligations clearly and early, so that positions are not conceded by default before proceedings have properly begun.

We work across all major financial and economic laws with specific depth in the following areas.
