Protecting Your Rights and Interests

Tax evasion, money laundering, insider dealing and other “white collar crimes” have come under increasing scrutiny by virtue of the passing of the Criminal Justice Act 2011, which is designed to allow the Gardaí to combat white collar crime, an area of the law which has been grossly neglected and under-resourced by state agencies in the wake of the banking and financial crisis. If you as a corporate director or your company is under investigation for suspected fraudulent activity, you should obtain experienced criminal defence advice as soon as possible. Early intervention by a solicitor who knows what he is doing could prevent prosecution.

The Dublin law firm of Peter Connolly, Court Solicitor, provides experienced advice and court representation of individuals and corporate businesses under investigation by the Criminal Assets Bureau, the Director of Corporate Enforcement, the Health and Safety Authority, the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission, The Central Bank, the Financial Services Ombudsman, the Revenue Commissioners & Customs & Excise and other public authorities. We understand the significant impact a criminal investigation has on your bottom line, so we work diligently to protect your rights, interests and future.
