Our access to forensic, audit and accounting specialists can be pivotal in constructing a vigorous defence against complicated, serious white collar allegations.
White collar charges generally refer to non-violent crimes involving damages of high dollar amounts, usually the theft of large amounts of money through some means of fraud.
The most frequent types of charges:
Fraud exceeding $5,000 CAD
Fraud under $5,000 CAD
Corporate theft/fraud
Securities fraud
Identity theft
Utter forged documents
In some instances, these crimes are seen by the public as being “victimless” since they didn’t involve direct theft from another, such as in instances of money laundering, forgery or income tax evasion. In other instances, such as corporate theft/fraud and particularly identity theft, these are crimes that leave extensive, lasting financial harms to others in their wake.
Take these charges seriously; in a time of global economic upheaval, many in society view white-collar criminals as harshly as they would those convicted of violent offences.
