(International) criminal law

Böhler’s criminal defence lawyers are involved in every area of criminal law: national and international criminal law, financial criminal law and general criminal law. Our cases range from those involving relatively simple traffic violations to complex fraud and extradition cases.

International criminal law
Böhler is one of the few Dutch law firms that can cover every aspect of this extremely specialised field of law. We have been involved in every recent significant extradition case, including political extradition cases, and are seen as a specialist in extradition law. Böhler is also involved with international tribunals.

General criminal law
Böhler’s general criminal law practice covers everything from the most simple to the most complex criminal case. Our cases concern charges of theft, forgery, production of or trafficking in controlled substances, human trafficking, violent crimes such as murder, battery and sexual assault, and violations of traffic laws.

Financial criminal law
In financial criminal cases, Böhler often represents companies or managers who have been accused of wrongdoing. The legal framework in this area of law is undergoing a period of rapid change. There is increased scrutiny of financial transparency and integrity, partly as a result of the sheer number of large fraud cases. Our cases concern violations of financial oversight regulations, insider trading, money laundering, tax violations and complex forgery schemes.
