Richard Schmidt Joins KŠB, Strengthening Its Corporate Criminal Liability and Compliance Practice
KŠB expanded its team at the beginning of August with the arrival of attorney Richard Schmidt, who has extensive experience in criminal law, including corporate criminal liability and related compliance matters.
At KŠB, Richard will focus primarily on corporate criminal liability, white-collar crime and compliance. His appointment strengthens the firm’s capabilities in areas of growing importance to the business community.
“KŠB is one of the leading Czech law firms and offers an exceptionally broad range of expertise. I look forward to further developing my specialisation in criminal law and compliance and contributing to complex cases that often span several areas of law. Today, effective defence in criminal proceedings requires expert support across the full spectrum of non-criminal legal disciplines. This is particularly true in cases involving white-collar crime and corporate criminal liability,” says Richard Schmidt.
“Richard’s arrival further strengthens our expertise. His experience will be particularly valuable in advising on corporate criminal liability and white-collar crime, as well as in designing and implementing effective compliance systems. We are therefore delighted that he has chosen KŠB for the next stage of his professional career,” adds Martin Krejčí, Managing Partner of KŠB.
