The team is involved at all stages of criminal proceedings, from the investigation phase undertaken by a judicial authority or an independent administrative authority right up to the judgment stages before the criminal courts.
The criminal department assists the firm’s clients in all the procedures or proceedings to be brought both as defendant and as plaintiff. If our clients are victims of a criminal offence, the firm advises them on a strategy to support prosecutions and, where applicable, to seek redress for the loss sustained.
In the event of an investigation and/or prosecution (custody, judicial information, referral to or summons before a court, etc.) the criminal law team ensures its clients’ rights are protected, defends them and assists them at each stage of the process and establishes a defence strategy in line with their interests, depending on the specifics of each case.
Finally, the criminal law team supports the firm’s clients in the management of crisis situations, incorporating a communication strategy in the criminal defence analysis.
