White-collar crime proceedings

White-collar criminal proceedings often center on companies. Criminal investigations against employees may have serious implications for companies; their premises and IT systems can be searched, their business documents and data seized. Criminal justice institutions may confiscate a company's profits or impose substantial fines.
