Knauer Partnerschaft von Rechtsanwälten mbB's renowned white-collar crime lawyers are dedicated to defending managing directors, board members and supervisory board members from the financial services, trade and industrial sectors as well as politicians and private individuals that are facing criminal charges. While the practice operates across the entire spectrum of white-collar crime and criminal tax law, its advice has recently been particularly focused on matters relating to insider trading, insolvency offenses, whistleblowing and cum-ex. Christoph Knauer is particularly impressive in the latter area, while Sören Schomburg is known for his expertise in international criminal law. Björn Börger is often active in the corporate and compliance context, but is also particularly well versed in defending individuals against criminal capital market allegations.
