With experience acting before a variety of judicial entities, including the Supreme Court, the Constitutional Court, and criminal courts, the corporate crime practice at Baker McKenzie stands out as a key player in the Spanish market. The group is adept at handling litigation, public prosecutor investigations, and pre-litigation defences, as well as official investigations and compliance. Clients operate in a range of sectors including technology, financial services, and energy. Extradition proceeding expert Jesús Santos co-heads the department alongside litigation specialist Marc Prat. The team also benefits from the aptitude of María Massó, who concentrates on tax crimes, fraud, and punishable insolvency, and Juan Pedro Cortés, who focuses on environmental matters, European arrest warrants, and compliance. David Velázquez left the firm in December 2023.
