Criminal law and white-collar crime

We successfully advise our clients – Polish and international, institutions and individuals – on criminal, fiscal-criminal and other matters related to criminal law. The matters we are involved in are often complicated, legally complex and receive wide coverage.

Due to the profile of the matters entrusted to DMS, we have particularly extensive experience in matters from the broadly defined area of white-collar crime, including matters related to trading in financial instruments, banking and insurance, as well as on performing executive functions in companies and other entities conducting business.
