White & Case LLP's expertise in white-collar crime is routinely called upon by banks and companies across various sectors and frequently pertains to cum-ex, money laundering, corruption, cyber fraud and bribery, as well as regulatory risks, although the group's interdisciplinary cooperation also covers various interface topics, such as data protection violations, criminal insolvency law and investigations related to environmental pollution. Daniel Zapf, who is extensively active in white-collar crime matters and criminal tax law, heads the practice. The internal investigations department was strengthened in April 2024 with the addition of Julia Sophia Habbe, previously at Noerr; she has headed the Investigations Germany practice since then.
