Areas of law
Areas of law
White collar crime
The term of white collar crime is neither defined by law nor is there a generally accepted definition in Germany. According to our understanding, white collar crime is used to classify criminal and administrative offenses, which penalize or sanction the behavior of natural persons, legal persons and partnerships involved in the economy.
Tax criminal law
Tax criminal law includes all norms, which sanction violation of tax law (criminal offences and administrative offences). Usually, the norms of tax offences refer to the general tax law.

our activities
Bröckers lawyers defend individuals and companies even before the initiation of an investigation procedure – the so-called advance consulting – as well as in all stages of an investigation procedure.
Individual defence
.
Due to the structure of German criminal law, criminal proceedings against individual persons are the focus of preliminary and criminal proceeding. The recent past has shown that the risk of being accused – frequently unjustly – in a preliminary procedure has become an integral part of the entrepreneurial risk.
Representation of corporations
Although there is no original criminal law for corporations in Germany, legal persons and partnerships can be affected by non-criminal fines and criminal proceedings in a variety of ways: On the one hand as victims of the criminal behavior of their employees, on the other hand as beneficiaries; in the opinion of prosecution authorities, both phenomena could occur together.
Preventive counselling & Compliance
The apparently quite new recognition that the law has to be observed led to the implementation of the Anglo-American term “compliance” into German criminal law. While compliance with law may sound obviously, a compliance system is now also in Germany a necessary component of risk management, not only for reasons of liability.
