Criminal law

Criminal proceedings

A criminal investigation can follow different procedures. We help you understand your position, the steps being taken and how to prepare a properly supported defence or participation as a private prosecution in Spain.

How we can help

Investigation and preparation

We review the complaint, summonses and accessible case materials. We organise the facts and evidence, identifying investigative steps that may help establish what happened and protect your position within the criminal proceedings.

Abreviado and sumario procedures

We assess the procedure being followed and the decisions arising at each stage. We prepare written submissions, evidence and hearings within the agreed scope, including abreviado or sumario proceedings where the applicable rules require them.

Jury trials and minor offences

Jury trials and hearings for minor offences require preparation suited to their particular procedure. We review the allegations, evidence and features of the hearing that matter to your case and your role within it.

Making informed decisions

We explain the position and the consequences of available options. Any proposed agreed resolution, appeal or subsequent step is assessed by reference to its specific effects and the scope of the professional engagement.

Frequently asked questions

Does being investigated mean being guilty?

No. An investigation is not a conviction. It is important to understand your procedural status and arrange appropriate assistance for the steps being taken.

Can you also assist someone affected by an offence?

Yes. We review the facts, documentation and options for participating, including a civil compensation claim where appropriate.
