Corporate Criminal Offences

The Corporate Criminal Offences Group provides advice to clients on regulatory matters, criminal investigations and the defence of corporate criminal offences. Our client base consists mainly of corporate enterprises, from small to medium enterprises (SMEs) through to large multinational corporations and we represent senior management and employees caught up in regulatory investigations.

We have extensive experience in dealing with regulators both in Ireland and abroad. In Ireland, we deal with all regulators including the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement (ODCE), the Data Protection Commissioner (DPC), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Garda Bureau of Fraud Investigations (GBFI), the Central Bank, the Competition Authority, the Revenue Commissioners and the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB).

We have also worked with law firms from other jurisdictions in dealing with claims from regulators such as the Financial Services Authority in the UK, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the Food & Drugs Administration (FDA) and Department of Justice in the USA, and various other regulatory authorities in a range of EU jurisdictions.  

At all times, we strive to protect our clients from the reputational consequences that can flow from an investigation that may lead to a prosecution under the criminal law.
