PMLA & ED Investigation Defense for Clients in Germany

Enforcement Directorate investigations under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act are among the most serious legal challenges a business person or corporate officer can face. The ED's powers — including arrest, attachment of property, and prosecution before the Special PMLA Court — require an immediate and well-coordinated legal response. Our PMLA defense practice provides comprehensive representation from the moment an ED summons is received through the conclusion of proceedings. We advise clients on their rights during ED interrogation, prepare detailed responses to summons, and challenge provisional attachment orders before the Adjudicating Authority. We file bail applications before the Special Court and the High Court, and represent clients in confirmation proceedings before the Adjudicating Authority and appeals before the Appellate Tribunal for Money Laundering (ATPML). Our lawyers have deep expertise in the PMLA's predicate offence framework, the burden of proof provisions, and the Supreme Court's evolving jurisprudence on PMLA bail. We have successfully secured bail, challenged attachments, and obtained acquittals in PMLA cases across a range of predicate offences.
