Business & Corporate Clients
For companies, compliance departments, insurers and law firms, we take on investigation services across the full spectrum of economic-crime and compliance-related matters — from a classic individual investigation to integration into company-wide compliance processes.
The police investigate on behalf of the public prosecutor's office in criminal proceedings and, under the German Code of Criminal Procedure, are in principle obliged to investigate in every direction — in practice, however, the authorities regularly reach their limits in terms of staff and time. A specialist investigation agency works exclusively in its client's interest and, unlike public authorities, is not bound by internal service regulations — but is bound by the generally applicable laws, whose limits we strictly observe.
