Canadian authorities are aggressively pursuing business crimes, investigations, and compliance matters. Our White Collar Criminal Defence and Corporate Investigations team are poised to quickly and strategically respond in a crisis.
Our national practice encompasses all areas of white collar defence work, including matters under the Criminal Code, Corruption of Foreign Public Officials Act, Competition Act, Income Tax Act, Customs Act, and provincial taxation and securities legislation. We are routinely engaged to assist in: responding to search warrants, documentary summonses and production orders; defending corporations, directors and officers in criminal and regulatory investigations and prosecutions; conducting internal investigations into allegations of corporate and employee misfeasance; preparing for audits and conducting due diligence; and navigating complex cross-border and multijurisdictional investigations and enforcement actions. Our experienced team includes senior staff from the Ontario Securities Commission, the Alberta Securities Commission, and the Canadian Competition Bureau.
While our goal is to have matters resolved at the investigative stage, when proceedings are instituted, the courtroom experience of our lawyers is second to none.
