Schütte & Delsol Abogados

Schütte & Delsol Abogados stands as a distinguished law firm, securely rooted in the specialised practice of criminal law. The firm’s expertise is comprehensive, encompassing criminal litigation, legal advisory services aimed at crime prevention, and the development and implementation of criminal compliance frameworks. In addition to these core services, the firm provides strategic counsel across various other areas of law, leveraging its extensive network of partnerships with leading legal professionals in other disciplines.

Criminal Litigation

At the heart of Schütte & Delsol Abogados lies its formidable practice in criminal litigation. The firm is adept at navigating the complexities of criminal investigations and trials, representing both defendants and victims with equal proficiency. Whether acting as defence counsel for those accused of crimes or serving as legal advisors to victims, the firm brings a wealth of experience and a meticulous approach to each case.

A particular strength of the firm is its prowess in amparo proceedings, where it advocates on matters of constitutional import before Mexico’s highest courts, including the Supreme Court of Justice. The scope of cases managed by the firm is expansive, covering both state and federal jurisdictions, as well as ministerial, ordinary, and constitutional justice. The firm’s portfolio includes cases involving fiscal offences, property crimes, crimes against public service and justice administration, organised crime, intellectual property offences, electoral and environmental crimes, cybercrime, securities fraud, and offences of a sexual or familial nature. Furthermore, the firm engages in the prosecution of crimes against life, liberty, public safety, and national security, as well as those involving minors.

Moreover, Schütte & Delsol Abogados is experienced in matters concerning the execution of criminal sentences, international criminal pursuits via INTERPOL, and the complex procedures associated with both active and passive extradition.

Crime Prevention and Legal Consultancy

Beyond litigation, Schütte & Delsol Abogados provides exceptional legal consultancy services focused on crime prevention. The firm advises a diverse clientele, including public sector entities across all levels of government and autonomous bodies, as well as private sector companies and individuals. The firm’s consultancy services are particularly valuable in ensuring compliance with criminal regulations and in implementing best practices designed to prevent criminal liability.

In today’s intricate legal and commercial landscapes, the involvement of a criminal law specialist is indispensable. Schütte & Delsol Abogados assists public bodies in their routine operations, supports businesses in structuring their commercial transactions, and advises on the planning and execution of fiscal strategies. This expertise is crucial in helping clients avoid entanglement in criminal liabilities or becoming targets of crime at the hands of clients, suppliers, employees, or other parties.

Recent legal reforms in Mexico have moved towards holding legal entities accountable for criminal activities, challenging the traditional notion that corporations cannot commit crimes. This paradigm shift has necessitated the adoption of criminal compliance programmes within companies and institutions. Schütte & Delsol Abogados is at the forefront of this development, guiding clients through the establishment of operational protocols, compliance manuals, and clearly defined areas of responsibility. These measures not only reduce the risk of criminal liability but also safeguard against both internal and external threats. Additionally, they foster greater confidence among market participants and are increasingly becoming a regulatory requirement for accessing certain permits and sectors, thus offering tangible benefits to compliant entities.

Advisory Services in Other Legal Domains

While Schütte & Delsol Abogados is primarily focused on criminal law, the firm recognises the interconnected nature of legal issues. To provide a holistic service, the firm has forged strategic alliances with prominent law firms across various legal fields, including energy law, tax law, civil and commercial law, corporate and real estate law, family law, labour law, and arbitration.

These alliances enable Schütte & Delsol Abogados to deliver comprehensive legal advice that addresses all facets of a client’s needs. Whether the matter at hand intersects multiple areas of law or requires referral to a trusted expert in a specialised field, the firm ensures that clients receive the highest standard of legal support.
