Legal support for criminal law and criminal procedure law issues
Pepeliaev Group’s lawyers help clients in solving specific business tasks:
- to prevent the destruction of a business as a result of criminal prosecution, in particular when investigative bodies have used prohibited methods of investigation, possible abusive practices, and illegal and excessive coercion;
- to prevent competitors from using criminal procedure to gain access to the client’s confidential information;
- to maintain a business-friendly environment among the staff members during state control and coercive procedures, to minimise the risks of panic among the staff caused by these procedures;
- to prevent additional “extra-procedural” costs from growing owing to intimidation, threats and blackmail, which some malevolent officials use.
