Is your company suspect  of a crime?

Specialized defense for companies

The more and more companies are prosecuted in Belgium for crimes, such as fiscal and economic fraud, forgery and financial forgeries, money laundering, internet fraud, environmental crimes and social crimes.

Belgian and foreign  companies or non profit organisations can be sentenced to substantial fines and forfeiture of  assets and profits and even dissolution. 

Companies and  other  are also entitled to their own independent and specialized criminal defense.

It is important that they are assisted by a lawyer when the representatives or directors of these companies are called up for questioning by the police in a criminal investigation.

Tom De Meester has extensive experience in assisting companies and other legal entities in financial fraud, bankruptcy crime, money laundering and other property crimes. Because he also assists companies in other legal matters, he knows the practices and decision-making process in companies well.

He is also appointed by the courts as ad hoc proxy (legal representative) in criminal investigations for companies.
