What Is Corporate Crime?

Corporate crimes are offences committed by a person who has a position of authority within a company, business entity or individual acting on behalf of a business, or by the business itself. They can be committed by corporations as well as natural persons (individuals).

A company often commits corporate crime to deceive future or current investors, members of the public or other individuals, creditors or business rivals. Most corporate crime is non-violent and carried to gain a financial advantage. It may include corporate fraud (after February 2010), corporate fraud (before February 2010), insider trading, tax fraud and environmental offences.

If you or your corporation is being investigated on suspicion of committing a corporate crime, contact one of our Sydney corporate crime lawyers who can analyse your case and develop a strategy.
