Expertise
White Collar Defence & Corporate Crime
When investigators arrive, the first 48 hours decide more than the following two years.
Which documents are privileged, who speaks to the authorities, how parallel proceedings in other countries are coordinated: these decisions cannot be repaired later.
We defend companies and executives in white collar proceedings and coordinate global, multi-jurisdictional investigations. Our team includes former senior prosecutors who know how the other side builds its case.

Why LANA AP.MA
Cross-border by default
Corporate crime proceedings rarely stay in one country. A German investigation triggers US exposure and vice versa. We coordinate defence strategy across jurisdictions from day one, so a statement made in Frankfurt does not become a problem in Washington.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The authorities are at our door. What do we do first?
Call us before you speak to anyone. Secure privilege, do not destroy or alter anything, and let counsel manage every contact with investigators. We are reachable 24/7.
Does the FCPA apply to a European company?
Often yes: US listing, US-dollar transactions or conduct touching the US can be enough. FCPA exposure should be assessed before US market entry, not after a subpoena.
