Gleiss Lutz's white-collar criminal law expertise complements the firm's established compliance practice and, in addition to advising and representing industrial companies, increasingly includes instructions by banks and financial institutions. The team covers traditional cum-ex and financial fraud matters as well as allegations of money laundering, environmental crime, criminal data protection, criminal foreign trade law and employment law crimes. Investigations expert Eike Bicker heads the practice, although the majority of the team's caseload is the responsibility of Christoph Skoupil, who was appointed to partner in January 2023 and has had considerable success in defending companies against criminal and administrative offence allegations.
