For lawyers, companies and individuals · throughout Spain, in person or online
In criminal matters of any substance, an independent technical opinion can reinforce a strategy, found a pleading or help take a decision with sound criteria. Party opinions and second opinions for lawyers, companies and private clients.
In brief. A legal opinion is a reasoned report analysing a specific criminal question (classification, evidence, limitation, strategy) with citation of legislation and case law, ready to be filed or for internal use. A second opinion is an independent review of a live case: the viability of an appeal, the soundness of a proposed negotiated judgment, the strategy before trial.
A legal opinion is a reasoned report that analyses a specific criminal question, classification, evidence, limitation, procedural strategy, with citation of the applicable legislation and case law, ready to be produced in proceedings or used internally. A second opinion is an independent review of a case in progress: the viability of an appeal, the strength of the evidence, the advisability of a proposed negotiated judgment, the strategy for trial.
We prepare both for three audiences: law firms that need specialised support in economic or technological criminal law; companies taking decisions with criminal implications; and private clients who want an independent review before a decisive step. Rigour, verifiable citations and clear deadlines.
| Step | What happens | Deadline | The key point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enquiry | Confidential description of the question | Same day | Conflict check before reading anything |
| Scope | Definition of the question and the material | 24-48h | A precise question yields a useful answer |
| Quote | Closed fee and delivery date | With the scope | No surprises |
| Analysis | Legislation, verified case law and material | Per agreement | No unverifiable citations |
| Draft | Reasoned conclusions | Per agreement | Written to be understood and used |
| Delivery | Report ready to file or use internally | On the date | With the references at hand |
| Follow-up | Clarifications and defence of the opinion | Included | Testimony as party expert where needed |
| Confidentiality | Absolute, also towards other counsel | Always | Professional secrecy from the first call |
Deadlines and scope are agreed case by case; urgent matters are handled with priority.
Our opinions are written by lawyers who litigate what they write about: economic and technological criminal law, corporate liability and appeals. That changes the product: the analysis anticipates how a court will read each argument, the citations are verified and complete, and the conclusions state what can be sustained and what cannot. Where the answer is unfavourable, we say so: a report that only pleases is worthless in a courtroom. We apply LIWARD, Legal Intelligence Warfare for Defense, our own methodology of legal intelligence and case-law analytics.
Firms needing specialised support in economic or technological criminal law: opinions and technical assistance with full respect for the client relationship.
Businesses taking decisions with criminal implications: risk analysis before transactions, investigations or reports.
Individuals seeking an independent review before a decisive step: negotiated judgments, appeals, strategy.
Entities assessing criminal risk in claims and transactions: independent, verifiable analysis.
