This article outlines the research program of a “criminology of crime avoidance”
using the example of the preemptive use of legal opinions by white-collar actors to
shift the boundaries of the law in their own favor. For this purpose, the term creative
compliance is introduced and explained with regard to the Cum-Ex scandal in

phenomenon. Finally, the hypothesis is developed that law enforcement personnel
is deterred from investigations by the reputational capital of certain legal advisors.
