What should I do if a relative has been arrested in Spain?

Call the 24-hour emergency line on +34 669 30 21 13 immediately. A criminal lawyer will assist the detainee at the police station and before the duty court. It is essential that the detainee makes no statement and signs nothing without a lawyer present.

Can you defend me if I do not live in Spain?

Yes. Spanish criminal proceedings can be followed from abroad. We work by video call, digital signature and a shared electronic case file, and we appear before the Spanish courts on your behalf, so that in most cases you only travel when your presence is legally required.

What are your main areas of practice?

SCJE is a criminal defence firm specialised in economic and corporate crime, technology crime and digital evidence, extradition and European Arrest Warrant proceedings, and defence in high-complexity cases before the National High Court.

We appear before the courts of the entire province of Alicante and in Madrid, Valencia and Murcia, with offices in Alicante and Madrid and a presence in London and Paris for matters with a cross-border dimension.

Do you work on fixed fees?

Yes. After the initial assessment of the matter, the firm provides a fixed fee agreed by stages, so that you know the cost of your defence from the outset. The first 15-minute online consultation is free of charge.

What is the LIWARD Method?

LIWARD (Legal Intelligence Warfare for Defense) is the firm's own methodology for strategic criminal defence: it treats the proceedings as a legal intelligence exercise in order to anticipate the prosecution case and define the defence strategy in phases from day one.

Criminal defence lawyer in SpainIN A SPANISH CRIMINAL CASE, AN EARLY MISTAKE CANNOT BE UNDONE

We do not simply defend cases: we control consequences.

Not every criminal case carries the same level of risk.

In high-complexity proceedings, a hasty decision or a mistaken strategy in the opening stages can determine the outcome irreversibly. If you are a foreign national, the difficulty is twofold: the case advances under Spanish criminal procedure, in Spanish, and often while you are abroad or in custody.

At Société Juridique we act in complex criminal proceedings in which legal analysis, technical understanding of the case and defence strategy are decisive, and we do so in your own language from the first call.

There is no substitute for experience and strategy in matters of this complexity. Our lawyers combine deep legal knowledge, international connections and a client-centred approach that ensures the highest standard of service at every stage.

Areas of practiceA boutique firm highly specialised in criminal and technology law, acting for international clients before the Spanish courts.

Video consultations

Criminal law

We defend across the full range of Spanish criminal law, with particular experience in cases involving foreign nationals: arrest and police custody, fast-track trials, European Arrest Warrants and extradition, and appeals. Our approach combines legal experience, forensic analysis and advanced technology to protect our clients’ rights.

Technology crime

New forms of technology-enabled crime are not a challenge for us. We apply advanced legal strategies and extensive knowledge of cybercrime and cybersecurity, with particular attention to digital evidence obtained abroad and to its admissibility before Spanish courts.

Economic and corporate crime

These offences demand a strategic criminal defence, particularly where they affect companies, directors or complex corporate structures operating across more than one jurisdiction. We act in high-complexity proceedings in which criminal, financial and reputational exposure requires precise decisions from the outset.

A specialist team, not a single lawyer

Each client is assigned a lawyer who leads the case from beginning to end, drawing on the firm’s specialists whenever the matter requires it. You will not have one lawyer: you will have a firm at your disposal, specialised in high-complexity cases.

LIWARD® Method

Every case is handled as a major investigation: evidence mapping, large-scale document analysis and a phased strategy defined from day one.

Fees without surprises

Fixed fees agreed by stages, with immediate and tailored internal instalment arrangements. First 15-minute online consultation free of charge.

Genuine 24-hour emergency line

A criminal lawyer on the line, not a voicemail: +34 669 30 21 13, every day of the year.

International reach

Offices in Alicante and Madrid, with a presence in London and Paris for matters with a cross-border dimension.

Your case, explained in your language

Spanish criminal procedure has no equivalent in most legal systems. We explain each stage, each deadline and each decision in English, so that you understand what is at stake before you have to decide anything.

Kept informed in real time

You will know which stage your case has reached and what comes next, with an electronic case file and regular updates. Without having to call to find out.

A selective boutique firm

We take on a limited number of concurrent matters: genuine dedication by the team to each case, not assembly-line handling.

Defence and prosecution

We act on both sides: when defending we know how the prosecution thinks, and when prosecuting, how a defence is built.

The family is a client too

During police custody or pre-trial detention we stand by the family: clear information on deadlines, communications and visits, wherever they are.

Fully remote if you prefer

Video calls, digital signature and a shared case file: you can run your entire matter from abroad, without travelling to Spain.

Arrested in Spain, travelling or resident

If you or a relative has been detained, the first hours matter more than anything that follows. A criminal lawyer answers the emergency line, not a voicemail, every day of the year.

Prevention before defence

Legal safeguards and criminal compliance: the best proceedings are those that never begin.

Integrated legal and financial view

In tax and corporate offences we coordinate the criminal defence with the tax and commercial strategy, so that one does not undermine the other.
