FIRM PROFILE Since its founding in 2012 Steinfeld Recht has specialised on criminal law with a particular focus on international white-collar crime. Based in Frankfurt, Germany it is strategically placed at the heart of the continental financial industry. Moreover, Frankfurt has become a hub of the innovative industry, particularly start-ups in the area of fintech, legal tech and ICOs in various fields, giving it a front seat for the increasing number of “new” fraud cases. Steinfeld Recht is a fraud expert. Our clients are both alleged perpetrators but also victims of fraud. Knowing and understanding the structures of fraud as well as frequently “changing sides” gives us the best knowledge and experience to ensure that our clients get the best legal advice. Since 2016 we have also dealt with several cases of social security fraud, a great number of which centred around the application of the A1-legislation, all of which included EU-workers being sent to Germany. In 2015 Steinfeld Recht was involved in the CO2-VAT-Caroussel scandal that had centred around the Deutsche Bank and had allegedly accumulated a multimillion damage in taxes. Since 2014 Steinfeld Recht is frequently helping clients who are facing a European Arrest Warrant (EAW) that had been issued by a German court. We supply our colleagues in the respective countries with all the information needed to uphold the fight against the execution of the EAW while addressing the procedure at its root and negotiating a reasonable outcome in the meantime. In the majority of these EAW- proceedings our clients were situated in the UK and France. www.steinfeld-legal.com Finance Monthly Global Awards 2018 www.finance-monthly.com 14 GERMANY
