Economic and Financial Offences

The firm’s lawyers have extensive experience as defence counsel in criminal cases concerning tax offences, accounting offences, breach of fiduciary duty, bribery, money laundering and violations of securities-trading rules. Our advice may also extend to companies that have suffered loss as a result of economic and financial offences.

We place emphasis on assessing the legal position at the earliest stages, whether the investigation is in the hands of the District Prosecutor, Iceland Revenue and Customs or other supervisory authorities. Careful preparation is of great importance for the progress of a case.

Jonsson & Hall also advises on internal controls, compliance and preventive measures, so that companies can reduce risk and respond correctly to reports or internal findings.

Our aim is to provide clients with clear and practical advice built on experience of litigating complex economic-offence cases, both at the investigation stage and before the courts.
