The dynamic and ever-evolving ecosystem of trade and business practices has created numerous opportunities for growth and prosperity for multinational companies operating across different jurisdictions. However, alongside this progress, unethical and immoral acts, sometimes crossing the boundaries of criminal law, also emerge within corporate environments,. While some of these actions can be addressed through a company's internal policies, others require the intervention of state law enforcement agencies.

With the global rise of such crimes, sovereign governments have established specialized, well-trained law enforcement agencies to address them with India being no exception.

However, despite these efforts, there remains a significant shortage of professionals equipped to handle such challenges. As a result, the role of a corporate criminal advocate has become indispensable for companies navigating these precarious situations
