What is White-collar crime law practice?

White-collar crime legal practice covers compliance and investigation aspects of corruption, bribery, anti-trust issues, employee fraud and embezzlement, financial misstatements, vendor fraud, management fraud, and intellectual property theft involving employees, management, directors and third parties.

White-collar crime can have domestic and international implications; requiring law firms to often leverage their working relationships with various Indian and international legal establishments and investigative agencies.

White collar crime in India usually occurs due to contravention of anti-bribery and corruption laws; corporate and accounting fraud; insider trading; data privacy, protection and security related issues.

In addition to the Companies Act and the normal criminal and civil laws in India, lawyers engaged in this practice area may require a working knowledge of global statutes such as FCPA, UKBA; corporate compliance; and money laundering regulations.

The range of activities in this practice are include:

• conducting internal audits and due diligence,
• whistle blower and internal investigations
• creating appropriate risk mitigation strategies, comprehensive ethics frameworks
• background checks and asset tracing,
• investigation support on allegations of asset misappropriation, misreporting, misstatement and diversion of funds
• representation in investigations, criminal trials and appellate proceedings before courts,
• corporate investigations
• incident response services
• anti-trust and cartel investigations
• trainings and awareness sessions

 

With the increasing dependence on electronic records and communication, the law firm also needs to be conversant with preservation of evidence and legal review of electronically or digitally stored information.

White collar crime is a practice that has significant overlap with Anti-corruption and anti-bribery practice areas. While ‘Anti-corruption and anti-bribery’ practice is usually more external in nature; ‘While collar crime’ is more internal in terms of implications.
