White-collar crimes in India present significant challenges and risks for individuals and businesses. The complexity of these financial maneuvers, such as unreported exports, invoice manipulation, and illegal foreign exchange transactions under FEMA, makes detection difficult. Moreover, the use of shell companies, intricate financial instruments, and cross-border transactions further complicates the identification of illicit activities. As a result, individuals and companies engaging in such practices are increasingly vulnerable to investigations and legal actions under laws like PMLA. Company directors are particularly under scrutiny to establish effective mechanisms to detect and prevent fraud and corruption within their organizations, adding to the challenges faced in navigating the evolving legal and regulatory landscape surrounding white-collar crimes.
As experienced professionals in white collar crime, we offer a comprehensive advisory framework to our clients, covering not only internal investigations and compliance advocacy but also coordinated crisis management/response and the defense against government investigations, enforcement actions, and ensuing criminal/civil proceedings. Drawing from our extensive experience in defending corporations in high-profile matters across every significant area of white-collar crime, our advisory reflects a deep understanding of global enforcement and regulatory trends.
We excel in handling issues arising from complex internal investigations spanning multiple jurisdictions, requiring strategically coordinated responses tailored to the specifics of different legal systems. Our track record includes conducting internal investigations into various matters, including bribery and misconduct under Indian and foreign anti-corruption laws such as the PMLA , FEMA, financial and regulatory fraud, procurement fraud, infrastructure fraud, violation of sanctions laws, conflicts of interest, corporate governance lapses, and violation of corporate policy.
