WORK
CRIMINAL INVESTIGATIONS
The legal advice provided by LSF Advogados covers the stages of criminal investigations and administrative inquiries.
It is worth noting that this approach may be aimed both at the strict defense of our clients regarding situations where individuals and legal entities are investigated, and at the representation of our clients as victims by actively interceding with the Public Authorities to clarify the facts concerning them, hold the perpetrators liable for their actions and seek compensation for the damages incurred.
We may act before the Police Agencies themselves, the Public Prosecutor's Office or even various Administrative departments.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Our legal work is focused on representing the interests of our clients in criminal proceedings that have already been filedor are in their initial stage. In this context, any negotiations for decriminalizing legal benefits are possible, such as a non-prosecution agreement, to put an end to the legal proceeding concerned.
As in criminal investigations, our work may be turned both to the defense of our clients when they are directly accused, and to the protection of the rights of victims, with the qualification of LSF Advogados as assistant prosecutor aiming to hold those involved liable for their actions and seek compensation for damages.
Representation is possible in all stages of the legal proceeding, covering the first-instance and the appeal stages with any written and oral representation before the Courts of all Brazilian States.
LSF Advogados also offers preventive and preparatory consulting services to analyze any risks, structure the compliance systems and good practices for our clients (in matters related to the area of Criminal Law), and give support to any internal investigations for companies, for example, in cases of any fraud involving employees, suspected misuse of duties, harassments, etc.
This scope of representation aims to provide legal assessment by our specialists and prepare global guidelines, opinions, reports, risk assessments or legal opinions, which may support decisions to be taken by clients in other areas related to business activity or even in the definition of criminal measures, such as spontaneous communications and requests to initiate any criminal investigations.
