Representation of clients in proceedings instituted by FINMA or the prosecution authorities
As part of its supervisory operations, FINMA has the power to conduct proceedings against companies or persons carrying out business activities without the proper approvals or who have committed breaches in the course of business for which the relevant approvals have been obtained. These proceedings may give rise to administrative penalties (including official warnings, withdrawal of approval, and company liquidation). FINMA may also report serious breaches to the prosecution authorities. Given the seriousness of the penalties that may be imposed, it is crucial that the party subject to such proceedings receives proper advice at the earliest possible stage.
