White-collar crime

FORI Avocat·e·s SA defends individuals and legal entities targeted by white-collar criminal proceedings, whether for offences against property (fraud, criminal mismanagement, misappropriation), forgery of documents, corruption or money laundering within the meaning of the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA). We act from the earliest investigative measures – searches, seizures, interviews – through to the conclusion of proceedings before the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Geneva criminal courts.

We also defend companies and their directors implicated under the criminal liability of the undertaking (Art. 102 SCC), challenging both the merits of the charges and the investigative measures taken against them, including seizures of the company's assets.

Thanks to a practice combining criminal litigation with in-depth knowledge of corporate law, we offer our clients a technical defence and an overall view of the economic and reputational stakes specific to these proceedings, which are often conducted under intense media and time pressure.
