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)
