Criminal law

What can our criminal lawyers do for you?

Our criminal lawyers assist companies in the areas of sanctions law, governance issues, compliance and internal investigations. We offer lawyers with extensive experience in dealing with prosecutors and other regulators. We assist companies when they are accused of offenses such as fraud, money laundering, forgery or corruption. We provide effective legal assistance if the company is sued by the regulator after a business accident, or if the director or owner of a company is criminally accused. Within Delissen Martens, we have the expertise that may be needed in major cases in addition to criminal law, such as in the areas of tax law, corporate law, liability law, ICT law, administrative law and privacy regulation.

The criminal law team is also at your service in the areas of internal compliance and risk management. We provide preventive advice on the regulations that apply to the company and its processes. We do this by providing information and training on dealing with (new) regulations and helping companies implement them. If a company is confronted with internal fraud or theft, we can assist the company with internal investigations.

The criminal lawyers at Delissen Martens also assist individuals if they are facing criminal charges. Bas Martens, Carene van Vliet and Hendrik Sytema are trained specialists at the Willem Pompe Institute for Criminal Law in Utrecht and members of the Dutch Association of Criminal Lawyers (NVSA).

Military criminal and disciplinary law

A particular specialty within criminal law is military criminal and disciplinary law. The criminal lawyers at Delissen Martens are among the few in the Netherlands with extensive experience in this area of law. They provide legal assistance to actively serving military personnel and veterans. This may involve criminal law problems that happen to them in the Netherlands or in mission areas. Military cases are heard in Arnhem, at the military chambers of the District Court and the Court of Appeal.

Cassation in criminal cases

Our criminal lawyers also handle cassation in criminal cases. After a conviction by the trial court, the Supreme Court may be asked to examine whether the law was properly applied and whether the defendant had a fair trial. Criminal cassation is a specialized area of law. Carene van Vliet and Hendrik Sytema handle criminal cassations. They are members of the Association of Cassation Lawyers in Criminal Cases (VCAS).
