The PETERKA PARTNERS Criminal Law practice specializes mainly in the protection of the interests of the injured party, namely the right to compensation for damages in criminal and civil proceedings. We also render legal services in cases where clients are requested for cooperation with investigative, prosecuting, and adjudicating bodies, including various orders for evidence, including electronic evidence.
We provide our corporate clients with legal advice in cases connected with the criminal liability of legal entities. This mainly concerns internal norms and rules and internal control mechanisms which are set to limit the risks of criminal acts being committed by the employees of a legal entity for which this legal entity could be, for any reason, held liable.
It is the goal of our team of experienced attorneys-at-law to offer our clients solutions which are the most suitable from a legal viewpoint, enable the assertion of any claims for damages efficiently, and prevent any potential criminal liability of the legal entities from arising, with a minimum administrative burden.
