Spanish Criminal Law
We handle the defense in complex criminal proceedings in Spain. We protect the rights of the accused against serious charges, disproportionate precautionary measures such as pre-trial detention, and errors in the criminal justice system. Our goal is to ensure a fair process and avoid unjust convictions.
Defense of Fundamental Rights
We handle cases where fundamental rights recognised by the Constitution and international treaties signed by Spain have been violated. We advise and represent individuals affected by unlawful actions by public authorities, systemic failings, and situations of abuse requiring a strong and well-structured legal response from the outset.
We approach each case with a technical and strategic focus to secure full redress for the harm suffered, using European and international legislation to strengthen each case.
Complaints and class actions
We offer specialist advice and legal representation in collective claims in the civil, criminal and administrative spheres, particularly in complex proceedings involving multiple claimants.
We analyse each case from a strategic and legal perspective, coordinate with those affected, structure the class action and lead the necessary proceedings before the courts and public authorities to protect shared interests and secure an effective outcome.
We guarantee clear, consistent and close communication throughout the entire process.
Compensation for wrongful imprisonment
We provide specialist advice and representation in claims for wrongful imprisonment, where a person has been deprived of their liberty and later acquitted or the case has been dismissed. Each case is carefully assessed to determine its viability, quantify the harm suffered, and build a clear legal strategy based on Supreme Court case law, in the absence of an official compensation scale in Spain.
We approach these cases as violations of fundamental rights — particularly the right to personal liberty and the presumption of innocence — using European and international human rights law to strengthen the claim and maximise compensation.
Off Counsel Strategy
We provide strategic legal advice to law firms, companies, and legal professionals, both national and international, who require support in complex criminal cases. We act as Off Counsel in proceedings that demand specialization in economic crimes, drug trafficking, corporate criminal liability, or technical defense against actions of the criminal justice system.
