Being accused of a white collar crime can be one of the most overwhelming moments in a person’s life. Whether you’re under investigation or already facing formal accusations, the uncertainty, reputational damage, and potential legal consequences under Spanish criminal law can feel paralyzing.

At Chabaneix Abogados, we provide skilled, strategic, and discreet legal defense for individuals facing complex economic and financial crime allegations. You don’t have to face this alone: our team of experienced white collar crime attorneys is here to help you navigate this difficult time with clarity and confidence. 

What does a white collar crime lawyer do?

White collar crimes are non-violent offenses typically committed in business, financial, or administrative environments. While they may not involve physical harm, the stakes are incredibly high, often including criminal investigations led by the Fiscalía Anticorrupción, asset freezing, reputational damage, and in many cases, prison sentences or large fines, as established by the Código Penal español. 

As experienced white collar crime lawyers, our role is to protect your rights at every stage of the Spanish legal process. From the investigative phase before an instrucción judicial to trial (if necessary), we: 

  • Analyze financial, documentary, and digital evidence 
  • Identify procedural flaws or weaknesses in the prosecution’s case 
  • Engage with judicial authorities and prosecutors early in the process 
  • Build a defense strategy tailored to your case and personal circumstances 

Our approach goes beyond reactive defense. We act quickly to prevent charges where possible and influence the outcome from the earliest stages of the investigation. If you’re already under investigation by a court or the AEAT (Spanish Tax Agency), contacting a white collar crime defense lawyer immediately is critical. 

Personalized defense for complex white collar charges

No two white collar crime cases are alike. These matters are often based on detailed financial records, business documents, or electronic data. At Chabaneix Abogados, we handle each case with precision and confidentiality. Our team includes lawyers specialized in economic criminal law with extensive experience in defending clients across Spain. 

We regularly defend individuals facing accusations such as: 

  • Fraud (estafa, fraude fiscal, fraude de subvenciones) 
  • Embezzlement (apropiación indebida, malversación de fondos públicos) 
  • Money laundering (blanqueo de capitales) 
  • Tax crimes (delito contra la Hacienda Pública) 
  • Bribery and corruption (cohecho, tráfico de influencias) 
  • Insider trading (delitos contra el mercado y los consumidores) 
  • Forgery and use of false documents (falsedad documental) 
  • Cybercrime and misuse of information systems 

Whether you are a business owner, financial executive, public official, or private individual, our white collar crime defense lawyers will work to protect your reputation, liberty, and livelihood within the Spanish legal system. 

Investigations can escalate quickly. The earlier you speak with a lawyer experienced in white collar crimes, the better your chances of resolving the matter before it reaches formal indictment or trial.

Do I need a lawyer if I’m only under investigation?

Yes. Early legal intervention by a white collar crime lawyer can help prevent charges, shape the direction of the investigation, and avoid critical mistakes during questioning or document delivery.

I cannot thank the Chabaneix Abogados team enough for their hard work. They managed to drop the unfair charges against me before trial. In addition, they were extremely helpful to my needs as a foreigner, providing a specialist who spoke my native language and ensured that my testimony was handled in my own language as well. Truly professional and effective.

Chabaneix Abogados es un despacho muy serio y profesional, que nos llevó un caso de extradición solicitado por Estados Unidos. Luis y Carlos, nos atendieron un domingo por la mañana y desde el primer momento prestaron un asesoramiento claro y conciso, en el que manejaron los tiempos, argumentos y criterios de forma muy clara y transparente, trasladándonos en todo momento la información real y las posibilidades de éxito. Finalmente, el proceso se ganó ante la presión de EEUU cancelándose la extradición y ganando la causa. Siempre estaremos en deuda con ellos. Supieron y demostraron estar a la altura profesional y humana que necesitábamos y esperábamos. Gracias, siempre.

El equipo de Chabaneix demostró un nivel excepcional, encontrando argumentos jurídicos sólidos que el tribunal español aceptó plenamente. Gracias a su estrategia profesional y meticulosa, mi libertad fue protegida. Recomiendo esta firma a cualquiera que busque la mejor defensa legal en España
