Corporate Crime Case Studies

Real corporate crime cases. Real results.

As corporate crime lawyers, we have represented a number of clients charged with corporate crime offences.

Doogue + George frequently give advice to individuals and companies that are either being investigated or want to look at the issues themselves. Often, this pre-interview or pre-charging work is the most important that an organisation can undertake to make their position safer.

Our case studies have been anonymised. We have changed ages and places of offence so as to make sure that people can not identify a client of ours from these case studies.

The case studies are provided to give you an idea of the scope corporate crime defence work we have covered and to offer an idea of penalties in certain cases.

If you have been charged with a corporate crime or white collar offence and need advice or representation, call 03 9670 5111 or fill out the form to the right of this page to contact one of our expert defence lawyers.
