Strategic Defence for Financial and White Collar Crimes
Charges involving financial or white-collar crimes can have life-altering consequences, ranging from imprisonment and heavy fines to professional disqualification, asset seizure, and reputational ruin. These cases are often rooted in lengthy investigations involving complex financial documents, digital records, and multi-agency coordination.
At Stern Shapray Criminal Lawyers, we defend individuals facing allegations of fraud, theft, embezzlement, and other financial misconduct. Whether you are a first-time offender or a professional under regulatory scrutiny, we provide strategic, discreet, and experienced representation at every stage.
Common Charges We Defend:
Credit card fraud, identity theft, and phishing schemes
Securities fraud and insider trading
Bank fraud, cheque fraud, and mortgage fraud
Employment-related theft or embezzlement
Investment scams and Ponzi schemes
False pretenses and misrepresentation
Forgery of documents, IDs, or financial records

Breach of trust and fiduciary misconduct
These offences are often prosecuted under both the Criminal Code and regulatory statutes, requiring a defence that understands both criminal law and financial regulation. Our team routinely works with forensic accountants, digital analysts, and industry experts to dismantle the Crown’s case and highlight weaknesses in their narrative.
We also advise on:
- Reputational Management
- Regulatory Defence (e.g., OSC, FSRA, IIROC investigations)
Whether you’re being investigated or already charged, early legal intervention can significantly affect the outcome. Our lawyers know how to engage with investigators, negotiate discreet resolutions, or take your case to trial if necessary.
