Our Approach to Financial Crime Defence

Typically, the successful defence of clients involved in business transactions involves three steps. First, certain businesses may benefit by taking preventative measures through the implementation of compliance programs. The Firm will advise clients on implementing compliance programs intended to reduce the likelihood of prosecution. For businesses involved in sensitive financial matters, robust compliance programs are vital for managing risk and ought to be an important consideration for company management and board of directors.

Second, pre-trial negotiations are critical for the successful resolution of financial crime allegations and regulatory breaches. For instance, with respect to corporate criminal wrongdoing, the Government of Canada has recently taken steps for introducing a Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) regime. The proposed DPA program will expand potential avenues for pre-trial settlements with government regulators and investigators. Mr. Vayeghan has a strong knowledge of DPA agreements. He will utilize this knowledge to assist his clients to obtain the most favourable outcome as earliest as possible during pre-trial negotiations.

Finally, where required, the Firm will forcefully litigate before the courts and tribunals to defend the reputation of his clients.
