Criminal tax law

Since then, entrepreneurial activity has been characterized by the management of risks and opportunities. This includes adapting to constantly changing economic conditions, exploiting uncertainties, and taking advantage of the opportunities permitted by applicable laws and regulations.

The framework conditions and their handling have become more stringent in recent years.
Companies today are held accountable in various areas – be it whistleblower protection, compliance with fair supply chains, export control and observance of sanctions, or in the areas of tax law and social security law.

Anyone participating in economic transactions today is more likely to come under the scrutiny of investigative authorities – whether as a defendant or a witness. Effective criminal tax defense therefore requires expertise in both criminal law and tax law. This is precisely where our experts come in, combining both areas of expertise.

We provide comprehensive support in the area of criminal tax law

Practice shows that alleged violations are increasingly being investigated and punished. For this reason, it is necessary to address issues such as corporate organization, process control, and compliance  even, or especially, in small and medium-sized enterprises. The aim is to identify risk constellations as early as possible.

DORNBACH leverages the valuable synergies of tax law expertise and in-depth experience in criminal law consulting and defense before administrative authorities, public prosecutors, and courts. Our criminal tax law experts keep an eye on all the details from the outset and support you with their high level of qualification and procedural expertise:

  • Internal investigation of the facts in cases of tax evasion
  • Complete preparation of voluntary disclosures exempting our clients from punishment
  • Support throughout the entire process until exemption from punishment is granted
  • Support in the context of tax investigation proceedings – from the search to the settlement or, if this is not possible, in the context of criminal defense in the main court hearing
  • Parallel support for necessary court proceedings from a single source
