Criminal Defence
Doing business in modern Ukraine attracts close attention from law enforcement and regulators, whose actions often carry criminal-law consequences. Timely, high-quality legal support helps prevent violations, assess risks for the company and its officers and — if proceedings are opened — build the right defence and terminate prosecution as early as the pre-trial stage.
Recognising the relevance of these issues for business, ACTIO actively develops its criminal law practice in the area of economic and white-collar crime. Our lawyers combine substantial experience in law enforcement investigations and defence work, which allows us to effectively protect clients' interests at every stage of criminal proceedings.
