ADICK LINKE
Experts in criminal tax and white-collar law.
Criminal tax law and white-collar criminal law. Personally responsible. Confidently managed.
We defend individuals and companies in all areas of white-collar criminal law. Our focus is on criminal tax law. We have many years of specialised expertise at the interface between criminal law and tax law. At the client’s request, we also represent them in tax proceedings. We operate nationwide.
As an independent specialist law firm, we have chosen to work outside of large structures. This allows us to combine excellent specialist knowledge with personal responsibility, direct accessibility and efficient processes.
We treat every case as an individual matter. We develop strategies individually and in careful consultation with our clients. We help our clients to remain capable of acting and to act professionally when it matters in criminal proceedings. In this way, we protect our clients’ assets, reputation and all the values that are essential to them.
We are regularly called upon to assist in particularly challenging and sensitive proceedings. Our firm is recommended in the relevant rankings for criminal and tax law.



FOCUS
What we do
White-collar crime cases often begin unnoticed. A mistake made by an employee. External or internal reports. An official audit. Something unusual about a business partner. The range of possible triggers is as wide as the legal threshold for initial suspicion of a criminal offence is low.
Even the initiation of criminal proceedings can have significant consequences. For reputation and trust. For economic opportunities. In serious cases, for personal freedom. Especially at the beginning, the situation is often unclear and many questions arise. We provide clarity and organise the situation. Our clients receive a reliable assessment of the facts and the legal risks. We analyse the procedural situation and identify realistic options for action. We identify opportunities and risks in a clear and comprehensible manner.
This enables our clients to make well-founded decisions that will stand the test of time. Wherever possible, we work to manage proceedings in a structured manner and avoid unnecessary public attention. For us, discretion and restraint are an expression of effective defence work.
We frequently handle proceedings in the banking and finance sector, but are not limited to this area. We also represent clients in a wide range of other industries and structures, as well as public servants.
