The White Collar Crime and Investigations lawyers have wide-ranging expertise in various White Collar Crime law areas and, with the support of other specialists at Pérez-Llorca, are able to find comprehensive legal solutions for our clients, tailored to each individual case.

Our team’s advice particularly focuses on the following areas:

  • Criminal proceedings for white collar crimes: Our White Collar Crime and Investigations team specialises in complex criminal investigations with transnational components relating to corporate crime, tax fraud and money laundering which could give rise to the criminal liability of corporations or other legal entities. Our team also has considerable experience in all kinds of investigations related to cybercrime, and acts on behalf of legal entities that have been affected by this type of crime.
  • International mutual legal assistance in criminal law: Our White Collar Crime and Investigations team specialises in international mutual legal assistance (MLA), and more specifically, in drafting letters rogatory in order to obtain evidence or testimonies or to freeze and recover assets, as well as in extradition procedures and European arrest and surrender warrants. The Firm’s international outlook allows the team to employ their expertise in this field by regularly advising our foreign clients, both individuals and companies, who are involved in criminal procedures being carried out in Spain.
  • Internal investigations: The White Collar Crime and Investigations team specialises in internal investigation procedures and provides advice to companies of all sizes to assess their exposure to potential irregularities, as well as to implement corrective actions. The team often coordinates with foreign law firms to conduct internal investigations affecting various jurisdictions and coordinates investigative actions affecting corporate IT resources.
  • International sanctions: Our team specialises in supporting clients in three key areas that affect this evolving sector. In the area of prevention, we focus on developing and implementing sanctions compliance policies, conducting training programmes, executing compliance audits to assess and strengthen internal controls, and conducting due diligence of counterparties to ensure sanctions compliance throughout the supply chain. On the reactive side, we assist with search and seizure procedures by authorities, conduct internal investigations to identify and address potential breaches of restrictive measures, support our clients in applying precautionary measures to distributors in case of non-compliance, and handle other critical situations requiring an immediate response to potential breaches. We also support our clients in the litigation phase that may arise in this area, both vis-à-vis business partners and/or other related parties, as well as before the competent authorities.
  • Corporate Compliance and legal advice within the framework of M&A transactions: Our White Collar Crime and Investigations team advises companies of all sizes on creating or improving their internal procedures for the prevention and early detection of potential criminal irregularities, and on the implementation of internal corporate investigation procedures. Within this area of law, the team advises foreign companies that need to adapt their internal procedures to comply with Spanish regulations in order to operate in Spain. The team also specialises in criminal risk assessments within the framework of corporate transactions.
