the Department of Justice or any of
their agencies are changing their
regulations on a daily basis. Okay? Even
companies, individuals who believe that
under a certain set of rules have been
perfectly compliant, those rules might
change tomorrow, whether it’s a new
administration, a new attorney general,
whatever it might be. So, it’s not so
much that companies need to have a
criminal defense attorney on retainer,
but if companies and individuals can
bring an attorney in to do regulatory
compliance, to review their
transactions, to review the emerging and
the more modern trends in the financial
markets as money in cryptocurrency is
exchanging from one country to another.
they should have an attorney on board
who can help them review these things
and issue opinions on this because if
you do the compliance from the get-go
and if you have an attorney who
understands the modern trends then you
don’t have to worry about the bad stuff
later on. So focusing on compliance even
if you fully believe you’re compliant is
still the right thing to do from an
early standpoint and it a lot can be
done at the compliance phase.
Boca Raton, FL criminal defense attorney David Tarras talks about how he helps clients avoid becoming the subject of an investigation in the first place? He explains that the Department of Justice and its agencies frequently update their regulations, sometimes on a daily basis. As a result, companies and individuals who believe they are fully compliant under existing rules may suddenly find themselves out of step with new requirements due to changes in leadership, policy, or enforcement priorities.
While businesses may not need a criminal defense attorney on retainer, they benefit greatly from involving counsel in regulatory compliance. An attorney can review transactions, assess risks, and analyze evolving trends in financial markets—particularly as cryptocurrency and cross-border transfers become more prevalent.
By engaging an attorney early to advise on compliance and issue legal opinions, companies can proactively address potential risks and avoid future legal problems. Even when compliance appears sound, having legal guidance at the outset is the most effective way to prevent costly issues later.
