A financial crimes lawyer helps people and businesses who are accused of breaking financial laws. Think of them as specialized defense attorneys who understand both criminal law and complex financial matters. At AK Advocates, our legal team works with clients across Dubai and the UAE to protect their rights and interests.
Core Services We Offer
Legal Defense in Criminal Cases
When someone faces charges in the Dubai Courts related to financial matters, we step in to protect their rights. For instance, if a business owner is accused of improper accounting practices, we review all evidence, work with forensic accountants, and build a strong defense strategy.
Help During Investigations
Our criminal lawyers often work with clients even before any charges are filed. Let’s say the Dubai police contact you about suspicious transactions – we can guide you through the investigation process, protect your rights, and often prevent charges from being filed in the first place.
Regulatory Compliance Support
We help businesses understand and follow financial rules. For example, if you’re starting a money exchange business in Dubai, we’ll help you set up proper anti-money laundering procedures to stay within the law.
Asset Recovery and Protection
If your assets have been frozen or seized during an investigation, our legal team works to protect and recover them. We recently helped a client regain access to their business accounts after showing the transactions in question were legitimate.
