Criminal

Team specialised in Criminal Law

Criminal Law has gained great importance in the framework of the practice of modern law. The criminalisation of different behaviours in the corporation, financial, tax, road and environmental sectors, among others, has altered the very features of the concept, adding these areas to the more traditional ones of Criminal Law.

PGS lawyers has a team of lawyers specialized in Criminal Law with a vast experience of intervention and advocacy in criminal and administrative proceedings in the scope of the protection of its clients’ interests.

This team has considerable experience not only in the traditional areas of Criminal Law, with a preponderance of Economic Criminal Law, but also in areas of growing importance such as Criminal Law dealing with the Environment, Taxation, Social Security and Intellectual Property matters. Another relevant area consists on the criminal liability of corporations and legal entities, as well as the criminal liability of managers or representatives of legal entities.

In particularly complex proceedings, the Criminal Law team relies on the cooperation of the remaining practice areas at PGS Law Firm, forming multidisciplinary teams that ensure a highly efficient quality service.

PGS lawyers in this area have also a vast experience in proceedings regarding administrative offences, with emphasis on infringements regarding permits or of an economic, tax, environmental or administrative nature, in addition to those related to commercial and industrial practices.

The experience obtained by the team enables it to assist its clients during all the phases of the proceedings, whether as offenders or plaintiffs, including counselling and legal advisory, especially in the prevention of criminal or administrative offences.
