Baker McKenzie Spain boasts a Criminal Litigation practice, which combines the extensive expertise of two offices, in Barcelona and Madrid. We have developed the largest team of Criminal Litigation among the international law firms in the Spanish legal market.
Led by partners Victor Mercedes and Jesus Santos, the team has dramatically increased over recent years and now comprises three partners, one of Counsel and 13 talented associates who have brought a wealth of experience and proficiency to the practice. The Criminal Litigation department has increased its size primarily due to the vast quantity of work, which it consistently attracts based on the reputation of the team, a definitive sign of a successful practice. This outstanding team of lawyers specialize in white collar and corporate crime defence and provide advice to both domestic and international clients.
As a truly global firm, we regularly represent a large number of multinational companies before the courts, and have advised them on compliance and corporate fraud cases. We are undoubtedly the leading international law firm in the domestic Spanish market.
The team is experienced in defending companies, directors, representatives and employees at every stage of criminal proceedings (criminal investigation, trial hearings and appeals) and at each level of the Spanish court system (first instance courts, criminal courts, provincial courts, high courts of justice, the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court).
