About

Provided by AUREN

Auren’s Criminal Litigation and Economic Crime department advises corporates and individuals on complex white-collar crime, criminal litigation and compliance matters. The team acts in high-stakes proceedings involving economic and financial crime, corruption, cybercrime and matters with significant regulatory, institutional and reputational implications.

The department has particular experience in complex evidentiary environments involving extensive documentary records, sophisticated financial structures, forensic analysis and cross-border elements. Its practice combines contentious criminal work with expertise in anti-money laundering (AML), corporate criminal liability and compliance, allowing the team to advise clients on both preventive strategies and criminal proceedings.

The department has further strengthened its capabilities through the incorporation of Juan Antonio García Jabaloy, a lawyer with more than 25 years of criminal law experience and particular expertise in white-collar crime, economic criminal law and international judicial cooperation. His previous experience as a prosecutor at the Audiencia Nacional and as Spain’s National Member at Eurojust reinforces the team’s capabilities in complex proceedings involving cross-border issues, international judicial cooperation and potential supranational review.
