Criminal Law
AEQUO ADVOCATS has a department
specializing in the defense of the client in any criminal procedure, both as
prosecution and defense, with remarkable expertise in matters of Economic
Criminal Law.
It also has a Company Criminal
Department which provides continuous criminal advice to the company, covering
all their needs, whether it is in matters where the company has been harmed by
a criminal action for which they are called to court, or as private prosecutor defending
the interests of the company and claim for damages suffered, and in cases where
the company, its board of directors, management or business administration have
been charged.
Similarly, AEQUO ADVOCATS offers its customers the possibility of having
preventive criminal advice for their company. This means having the opportunity
to establish a protocol in order to neutralize potential criminal risks typical
of business activities by implementing the so-called "Compliance Program", that is, Crime Prevention Plan, whose content aims to provide the greatest
possible legal safety to the company, given the criminal liability of juridical
persons currently in force in the Spanish legal system.
