Anticorruption Issues

Advising on e-declarations of any complexity

We provide fast and high-quality assistance with the preparation of electronic asset declarations. None of our clients has ever faced a risk of liability for an e-declaration filed with us.

Conducting audits of previously filed e-declarations

We conduct comprehensive audits of submitted electronic declarations for previous years, whether filed by the client independently or with the assistance of other legal advisors. We effectively mitigate risks that go unnoticed by others. We promptly assist in submitting corrected declarations or explanatory amendments before the commencement of NACP inspections.

Assisting with any audits by the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP)

Our experts have been supporting full-scope declaration audits and lifestyle monitorings conducted by the NACP since their launch in 2016. We understand how the NACP think, and always remain one step ahead.

Consulting on any anti-corruption, compliance and civil service matters 

We advise officials of all levels on conflict of interest matters, the receipt of gifts, NACP orders, dual employment, transfer of corporate rights into management, banking issues related to PEPs, civil service legislation, compliance, and other related matters.

Representing clients in administrative offence cases related to corruption

We represent clients in court proceedings on administrative corruption offences (false asset declaring, conflict of interest, violations related to dual employment and gifts). None of our clients has been included in the Register of Corrupt Officials as a result of court proceedings.

Protecting clients in civil confiscation cases

We represent clients before the High Anti-Corruption Court in cases involving the recognition of assets as unjustified and their recovery to the state (civil confiscation). We are familiar with every nuance of the procedure and successfully use our experience to protect the clients’ interests.

Defending clients in criminal proceedings related to false asset declaring (Art. 366-2 of the CCU) and illicit enrichment (Art. 368-5 of the CCU)

We develop an effective defence strategy from the very outset of criminal proceedings. During the pre-trial stage, we actively collect exculpatory evidence and focus our efforts on having the case closed. We care not only about winning the case, but also about protecting our client’s business and political reputation.

Safeguarding clients’ interests during internal investigations

We defend clients against attempts to impose disciplinary liability based on corruption allegations. If necessary, we also represent their interests in court to challenge the employer’s actions following the investigation.

Developing anti-corruption policies for legal entities

We draft anti-corruption programs for both public and private-sector entities. These programs help reduce corruption risks, optimize business processes, and provide competative advantages during public procurement.

Supporting the operation of political parties

We advise on all matters related to the operation of political parties, including reporting and public funding. We also support parties during audits conducted by the NACP, the Accounting Chamber, the State Tax Service, and other authorities.
