In today's world of increased regulatory controls, businesses increasingly face the prospect of regulatory or criminal investigations and charges. Our Regulatory and Criminal Law Practice Group lawyers have helped business clients and individuals understand and address the complexities of regulatory, criminal and quasi-criminal matters for many years. Our experienced counsel is available to assist business clients and individuals from the earliest stages of an investigation through to a negotiated resolution, hearing or trial.

Increasing government regulation of business and industry has created a complex environment of ever-changing rules and regulations that can be difficult to keep abreast of. With experience that extends from the most serious criminal charges to regulatory offences involving taxation, customs and excise, unfair competition, wildlife, environmental protection, and occupational health and safety charges, our team can provide strategic advice to help ensure compliance or assist when a company, its officers or directors become the subject of an investigation or charge.

Recognizing that regulatory, quasi-criminal or criminal charges, or even the threat of such charges, can be devastating to a business, our lawyers provide prompt and sound counsel from the onset of an investigation or incident. We know the importance of dealing with sensitive matters in a timely and discrete manner and work diligently to help clients avoid the cost and stigma of a protracted investigation and hearing process. Where a hearing or trial is required, our experienced trial lawyers are there with you, providing practical advice and knowledgeable representation in their role as your defense counsel.
