What kinds of allegations does Averites' White-Collar practice handle?

We advise clients facing allegations of fraud, corruption, bribery, misappropriation, financial misconduct, tax offenses, money laundering, sanctions violations, procurement irregularities and other business-related misconduct, in matters where criminal, civil, regulatory, corporate and reputational risks frequently overlap.

Why can a regulatory inquiry or shareholder dispute suddenly become a criminal matter?

White-collar matters often arise from complex commercial relationships, transactions, investments, and corporate disputes. A regulatory inquiry, shareholder conflict, failed investment, acquisition dispute or internal compliance issue can quickly develop into a criminal investigation or enforcement matter — we approach these as business-critical events requiring coordinated legal, strategic and reputational management.

Does Averites only have litigators on white-collar matters, or also transactional lawyers?

Both. Our lawyers combine contentious experience with deep understanding of corporate transactions, investments, finance, tax, competition and regulatory frameworks, allowing us to analyze not only the alleged conduct itself but the underlying business structures and relationships that gave rise to the investigation.

Does Averites only get involved once an investigation has already started?

No. We represent clients throughout the full lifecycle of a matter, from preventive compliance advice and internal investigations through government inquiries, investigative measures, criminal proceedings, enforcement actions, litigation and related disputes.

How does Averites handle a matter spanning multiple jurisdictions?

Where matters involve multiple jurisdictions, we coordinate local counsel, forensic professionals, accountants, investigators and other specialists to develop a unified defense strategy.
