Criminal Law

The healthcare sector is in constant flux. New legislation, increasing regulation, and economic pressure place high demands on those active in healthcare. The criminal-law risks in healthcare are manifold – and frequently underestimated. Billing fraud, the withholding of social security contributions, corruption, treatment errors, or the unlawful disclosure of patient data: all of these can trigger criminal investigations that may become a threat to one’s very existence – for the institution as well as for the individuals involved.

We advise and defend companies and individuals at every stage of criminal proceedings – from the first investigative lead and during searches through to the main hearing. In doing so, we combine criminal-defense expertise with a deep understanding of the medical-law particularities of the matter.

We have particular experience in investigations into allegations of billing fraud, in internal investigations ahead of official action, and in advising on how to avoid criminal-law risks in ongoing operations.

We are at your side.
