White-Collar
Crime

Our firm advises and represents corporate officers and legal entities (SMEs, mid-sized companies, listed companies or CAC 40 groups), whether under investigation or acting as victims, at all stages of criminal proceedings, including:

• Preliminary investigations, judicial investigations, European Arrest Warrants, alternatives to prosecution (such as negotiated plea agreements – CRPC – or deferred prosecution agreements – CJIP), and trial proceedings,
• All investigative and trial-related measures, including witness interviews, voluntary interviews, police custody, and first appearance interrogations.

We are particularly active in complex financial and economic criminal cases, including:

• Active or passive corruption, influence peddling and unlawful taking of interests,
• Theft, extortion, blackmail, fraud, breach of trust and money laundering,
• Misuse of corporate assets, insider dealing and market abuse offences,
• Misleading commercial practices, favoritism offences, and related misconduct.

Our expertise spans all sectors of activity (banking, finance, industry, media, luxury goods, web3, mass retail, etc.). We provide our clients with a tailor-made defence strategy, adapted to the legal and economic stakes of each situation, combined with comprehensive crisis management tools.

The lawyers at Pointcarré Avocats have been involved in major high-profile cases, including politically sensitive judicial matters, international corruption cases, favoritism involving major industrial groups, and “biens mal acquis” proceedings.
