The article outlines the research program of a "criminology of crime avoidance" using the example of the preventive 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. Then, a look is taken at possible criminological explanations for the phenomenon. Finally, the hypothesis is developed that law enforcement personnel is deterred from investigations by the reputational capital of certain legal advisors.
