RMDT provides highly qualified legal representation throughout the Romanian court system, from lower courts to the High Court of Cassation and Justice and the Constitutional Court, as well as during hearings held by prosecution bodies and police units, including in cases involving pre-trial detention. Our lawyers employ strategic defense approaches tailored to the specific circumstances of each case.
RMDT’s criminal law practice encompasses both risk prevention activities and assistance and representation in litigation. Our criminal law attorneys’ extensive business law background ensures the capacity to grasp the essence of each case’s complexity and to provide tailored assistance for each client.
Risk prevention activities include monitoring legal services ensuring the compliance of clients’ commercial practices with criminal law provisions in force. The firm’s dispute cases primarily relate to complex economic investigations, requiring close and thorough cooperation with other relevant practice teams within the firm.
RMDT regularly assists clients involved in complex tax evasion cases, where an interdisciplinary approach to the factual situation is essential to a successful defense. Such interdisciplinary approach combines criminal law with fiscal and commercial law. The interpretation risk often forms the basis of a tax evasion accusation, and establishing the business reasoning and economic substance of a particular operation frequently constitutes the appropriate line of defense.
RMDT assists clients confronting corruption accusations in both the public and private sectors. In many cases, the offenses subject to these files, including abuse of power, official and commercial bribery, and conflict of interests, are connected to business operations, and RMDT’s expertise in business law provides a strategic advantage.
RMDT also provides legal counsel on the preventive aspects of criminal law risks, including anti-fraud and anti-corruption training for employees of corporate clients, and fraud detection and deterrence within companies, in accordance with the standards of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), based in Austin, Texas and present worldwide.
According to ACFE standards, fraud examination refers to a process of resolving signs or allegations of fraud from inception to disposition. In addition, anti-fraud and anti-corruption programs should be tailored to the organization’s specific needs, risks, and challenges. The decisions fraud examiners make are significant to the organizations they serve, as well as to the individuals they may be called upon to investigate.
