Prevention before defence
Companies increasingly need a criminal lawyer they can trust close at hand. Corporate criminal liability and the liability of directors demand clarity when acting and, above all, prevention.
The criminal defence team is led by Javier Bravo Ciudad. We act for companies and other legal entities in defending the interests of their shareholders and directors, and in designing and supervising their compliance programmes.

Where we see youRambla Just Oliveras, 64, entresuelo 1ª, 08901 L'Hospitalet de Llobregat (Barcelona). In person Monday to Thursday 9 am–6 pm and Friday 9 am–2 pm; telephone service. Prices are listed under consultations and fees.
How we handle it
- First consultation. Fixed fee. In defence cases we review the summons, complaint or police report; in compliance work we first identify the legal obligations of the activity and the specific criminal risks.
- The strategy is decided with you. In defence, between a plea agreement with a reduced sentence or trial. In compliance, between reinforcing an existing plan or designing a new one, with the whistleblowing channel and training that apply.
- A lawyer responsible for your matter. With continuity in follow-up and the firm’s team coordinated on pleadings, hearings and calls.
