    Why is this insurance important to you?


    The risks increase

    Strict regulations on operational safety in production and in tax and subsidy systems as well as the far-reaching environmental criminal law offer a wide range of attack. All the more so as the ever-growing number of relevant laws and regulations, accompanied by stricter jurisprudence, is often not understood and thus not adequately implemented. But even here ignorance does not protect against punishment. In any case, it hits the responsible employees.

    Nobody can rule out unexpectedly getting into criminal proceedings. A complaint from neighbors, competitors, citizens’ groups, alleged victims or a dissatisfied employee is already enough to get the prosecutor’s office into action.

    Those affected can so financially blame a charge – whether justified or not. After German criminal law, not the companies, but the employees are personally held responsible. And they then have to defend themselves on their own account. If this does not happen quickly and sustainably, things can quickly escalate. If the case reaches the public, the image of your company will be damaged. This can also have a negative impact on the competitive position.

    By the way: delegating increases the risk. Due to organizational negligence, bosses also have to be responsible for mistakes made by employees or subcontractors.

    How much does a defense cost?

    Defense costs a fortune

    Under German law, the prosecution of a criminal act is bound to a natural person. Those responsible must defend themselves at their own expense against the allegations. The often years of procedures are expensive and stressful. Six-digit amounts for fees of well-known lawyers and specialized assessors, the legal support of witnesses and other costs such. As for translations and travel are not uncommon.

    You can not calculate defense costs –
    Criminal law protection already.

    What security does criminal law enforcement offer?
    Penal protection for a comprehensive defense strategy

    A criminal case against individuals always burdens the company as a whole. In order to avoid damage to the image and the resulting loss of revenue and creditworthiness, criminal and criminal charges should be swiftly and efficiently addressed. But what if the private funds of those affected do not allow this? So that your employees are not on their own, you should protect them with criminal law protection. It enables you to have a uniform, highly-qualified defense strategy for all concerned at a calculable cost.

    Security 1:
    Protection for all divisions

    Corporate Criminal Law covers all areas of your company’s activities such as production, operational safety, environmental protection and commercial organization, such as: Tax, subsidy or accounting matters or compliance issues. The insurance cover applies to the company as well as to all responsible persons and employees against whom a criminal or administrative offense procedure is initiated in the course of their work. In this way, criminal law protection makes an important contribution to comprehensive risk management.

    Security 2:
    Professional claims management

    Whether a preliminary investigation extends to a picture-damaging conflagration, often decides in the first few hours. In order to be able to react properly in case of emergency and to avert damage to the company and its employees, you need immediate, expert advice – for example, when the authorities come to the door with a search warrant. In this situation, the defense lawyer’s emergency call will help you around the clock. For an efficient defense strategy, we provide professional legal assistance and guide you through the entire process.

    Security 3:
    Full reimbursement

    Criminal law protection is the optimal supplement to your public liability insurance. The latter protects your company against claims for damages by third parties. But the legal fees incurred by qualified defense in criminal proceedings are only insured under criminal law. You enjoy the security full of cost recovery even with long, complicated criminal proceedings. We cover the costs of the procedure, pay advances, and even extend a bail bond as a loan.
