Activity

Criminal Law, Misdemeanour and Compliance practice area of TELLES comprises a team with extensive experience in the conduct and orientation of criminal and misdemeanour proceedings, whose legal and judicial advice promotes from the investigation phase, instruction until the final decision.

We have proven experience in this area, with special emphasis on economic-financial crimes - including tax crimes -, namely money laundering, economic participation in business, harmful administration, corruption, fraud and cybercrime, among others, and also those falling within the scope of breach of security rules, and professional misconduct, without excluding the representation of such matters before the respective professional associations and guardianship bodies.

In the context of the Misdemeanour, the practice area works in multidisciplinary teams with the expertise of lawyers from the tax, capital markets, environment, competition, cybersecurity, intellectual property, labour and social security, real estate and construction and urbanism departments, which allows an effective representation of our clients in administrative offenses brought by different regulatory authorities.

Our expertise and multidisciplinarity also enables us to offer preventive legal services with a view to providing our clients with compliance programmes to eliminate or mitigate the risks of legal and regulatory non-compliance.
