Our White Collar Crime practice provides strategic legal counsel and defence to businesses and individuals facing allegations of financial misconduct, fraud, bribery, embezzlement, money laundering, and other regulatory violations in Iraq. With a deep understanding of the legal and regulatory environment, we help clients navigate complex investigations and proceedings, safeguarding their interests and reputations.

We represent clients during criminal investigations, enforcement actions, and court proceedings, ensuring their rights are protected at every stage. Our team develops tailored defence strategies, managing interactions with regulatory authorities and law enforcement while minimizing disruption to business operations. We also assist clients with voluntary self-disclosures and negotiating settlements to resolve allegations efficiently.

Beyond defence, we provide proactive advice to mitigate risks and prevent white-collar crime. This includes designing and implementing compliance programs that align with Iraqi laws and international anti-corruption standards. Our services cover risk assessments, policy drafting, employee training, and internal investigations to ensure robust internal controls and reduce exposure to legal liabilities.

Our expertise extends to industries such as finance, energy, construction, and healthcare, where we address sector-specific challenges, including compliance with anti-bribery laws, fraud prevention, and financial reporting standards. We also counsel clients on cross-border issues, such as navigating international anti-money laundering (AML) regulations and responding to enforcement actions by foreign authorities.

With a focus on achieving practical and favorable outcomes, our White Collar Crime practice delivers strategic solutions to help clients manage risks, resolve disputes, and maintain the highest ethical and legal standards in their operations. Whether defending against allegations or strengthening compliance frameworks, we are committed to protecting our clients’ interests in a rapidly evolving regulatory landscape.
