Legal defence of defendants in criminal proceedings, with strategy, rigour and discretion
Criminal defence requires a rigorous analysis of the facts, the evidence available and the defendant’s procedural position. From the first contact with the authorities to the final decision, it is essential to define an appropriate strategy and ensure that the rights of defence are respected. We act at all stages of the criminal process, including interviews, investigation, trial preparation, trial, appeals and other procedural steps. We support the client with discretion, technical preparation and attention to the personal, professional and financial consequences that criminal proceedings may involve.
