Lawyers Specializing in Cross-Border Economic Crimes
Having a firm with experience in economic criminal law and in the prosecution of financial crimes that cross borders is decisive when your freedom, your reputation and your assets are at stake. Our economic criminal lawyers take on the defense and representation in proceedings involving money laundering, international tax fraud and corporate corruption, building a coordinated strategy across every jurisdiction involved.
We assist companies, directors and individuals in complex financial investigations, in the prevention of corporate criminal liability and in the recovery of assets located abroad. Our practice covers defense before the European Public Prosecutor’s Office and Eurojust, the handling of letters rogatory and mutual legal assistance requests, as well as representation in European arrest warrants and extradition proceedings.
Legal Solutions Against International Economic Crime
Protect your interests with an economic criminal defense designed for multi-jurisdictional scenarios. We act in proceedings involving white-collar crimes, coordinate the recovery of assets in offshore jurisdictions and take on representation before courts and international judicial cooperation bodies, always pursuing the most effective outcome for each client.
Transnational Money Laundering
We take on the defense of individuals and legal entities under investigation for money laundering, illicit financing and the movement of funds through shell companies. We analyze the traceability of capital, challenge the chain of evidence and build a strategy tailored to the anti-money laundering regulations of each State involved.
International Asset Recovery
We locate and recover assets diverted through corporate fraud, pyramid schemes or embezzlement of funds. We activate mechanisms such as preventive seizure, cross-border confiscation and the enforcement of judgments and awards abroad to ensure the effective restitution of the affected assets.
Criminal Compliance and Prevention
We implement criminal compliance programs, anti-money laundering prevention protocols and due diligence (KYC) procedures aligned with European directives and FATF recommendations. We reduce exposure to corporate criminal liability and strengthen the transparency of every operation.
Tax Fraud and Crimes Against the Public Treasury
We defend taxpayers and companies against accusations of international tax evasion, the improper use of tax havens and avoidance schemes through opaque corporate structures. We coordinate the defense when the proceedings are conducted simultaneously in several countries.
Judicial Cooperation and Extradition
We act in European arrest and surrender warrants, extradition proceedings and mutual legal assistance requests. We assist our clients before Eurojust, Europol and the European Public Prosecutor’s Office, safeguarding their procedural guarantees at every stage of the case.
Defense in Financial Investigations
We represent clients involved in investigations into economic crimes before regulatory authorities, financial intelligence units and international courts. Supported by forensic economic expertise, we build a defense aimed at reducing penalties and dismantling the charges from their very foundations.

Advantages and Benefits
Having a team specialized in international economic criminal law is essential when the investigation involves several jurisdictions and judicial cooperation bodies. Our criminal lawyers combine a thorough knowledge of anti-money laundering directives, international conventions and comparative case law to provide strategic representation in cases of corporate fraud, money laundering and transnational corruption.
From forensic financial investigation to asset recovery and defense before the courts, we provide comprehensive advice aimed at containing procedural and financial risk. Our experience in white-collar crimes, criminal insolvencies and extradition proceedings allows us to handle each case with technical strength and full protection of the client’s rights.
Knowledge of the International Legal Framework
The classification of economic crimes varies according to the country and the applicable treaties. Our lawyers master both domestic regulations and European and international instruments, ensuring that each line of defense complies with the requirements of all the jurisdictions involved in the proceedings.
Specialists in Anti-Money Laundering Regulation
We handle with precision the EU directives on money laundering prevention, the FATF recommendations and the regulations on corporate criminal liability. This allows us to design robust defenses and verify that our clients’ operations comply with current legislation during global investigations and litigation.
Strategic Management of Multi-Jurisdictional Cases
We coordinate the defense when the same matter is being investigated simultaneously in different countries, avoiding procedural contradictions and incompatible rulings. Our agile approach reduces the duration of the proceedings and the costs associated with prolonged cross-border litigation.
Strategies Tailored to Each Jurisdiction
Every economic crime case requires a specific approach according to local law and cooperation conventions. We develop bespoke legal strategies so that each action —before courts, prosecutors or regulators— is handled with the tactics that maximize the chances of success.
Resource Optimization in Financial Investigations
We apply efficient methodologies in the defense against charges and in asset recovery, drawing on forensic expertise and traceability analysis. We cut unnecessary costs and speed up the phases of the proceedings, seeking the best outcome with the least financial impact.
