Studio Legale Petrali · Business and white-collar criminal law
Studio Petrali assists companies, directors and organised groups across the main areas of business and white-collar criminal law, with an approach built on advance risk analysis, a structured reading of the facts and consistency of defence choices over time.
Every engagement is set within an overall framework that brings together criminal, organisational and reputational aspects, avoiding fragmented approaches or purely reactive defences.
Assistance in criminal proceedings involving companies, directors and senior managers, with an integrated reading of the legal and the economic-organisational facts.
The defence is built from the company’s actual structure, its delegations of authority, decision-making flows and internal records, avoiding abstract or purely formal approaches.
Representation in proceedings for corporate, insolvency and tax offences, with close attention to management conduct and to the attribution of individual liability.
The defence work is directed at a precise reconstruction of the functions actually exercised, the operational limits and the individual responsibilities, including in complex or collective decision-making settings.
Defence in proceedings for misappropriation, fraud, bancarotta (criminal bankruptcy), self-laundering and other offences connected with business activity.
Each offence is analysed in its economic and financial dimension, drawing the line between business risk, management error and criminally relevant conduct.
Assistance at the most sensitive stages of an investigation: seizures, disqualification measures and personal precautionary measures.
Immediate, targeted action to protect personal liberty, business continuity and assets, with particular attention to the proportionality of the measures.
Defence of entities in proceedings under D.Lgs. 231/2001 and support in drawing up organisational models.
The models are assessed and built not as formal box-ticking, but as practical tools of prevention that hold up as a defence before the courts.
Structured management of relations with public prosecutors’ offices and investigating authorities, on a prudent and well-documented basis.
Every exchange is handled with method, procedural awareness and risk control, respecting the role of the defence and the dynamics of the investigation.
