The Client was accused of funnelling significant funds out of a company at risk of bankruptcy. He was a shareholder in that company, and – according to the charges – was supposed to act in cahoots with a management board member. If convicted, the Client would not be able to serve on boards of any companies, nor could he represent them as a commercial attorney. The problem was that – by the time our Firm joined the case – the prosecution had already obtained a damning opinion issued by a court-appointed expert. The challenge involved undermining the credibility of a portion of the accounting and cash desk documentation of the company, as well as the reliability of the opinion procured by the law enforcement.
