Criminal Law

Shifting regulatory landscapes and evolving legislation mean that firms need to prioritise transparency and compliance within their organisational structures. Regulatory violations, corruption or fraud allegations, money laundering standards and civil liability accusations are all issues of concern to business operators and multinationals.

Money laundering and economic offences remain, to a large extent, unbailable offences and great care needs to be taken by body corporates, managers, directors, shareholders and senior management including reporting officers to ensure full compliance with these penal statutes.

At FB Attorneys, we are able to advise you on how best to maintain compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks and also how best to mitigate risk and manage any potential oversights.

We are able to provide advice, guidance and support both nationally and internationally if necessary.
