The Firm
Morales Abogados Penalistas is the brand name of the law firm specialized in criminal law, founded in 1997 under the name Gabinete Jurídico Fermín Morales.
The firm was renewed in 2022, through the alliance between Fermín Morales, Chaired Professor of Criminal Law and one of Spain’s most respected lawyers in the field of white-collar crimes. Has been awarded by the most important legal directories, such as Chambers Europe, for the last 15 years.
Morales Abogados Penalistas thus represents a perfect synthesis between the tradition of the criminal law boutiques and the advice of large international law firms.
The firm specializes in corporate and socio-economic criminal law, and advises individuals and legal entities, both in pre-litigation negotiations and before the Spanish courts, including the Supreme and Constitutional Courts. The advice focuses on environmental crimes, misappropriations, tax fraud and crimes against public administration, such as embezzlement, bribery and other related figures.
Internal investigations and compliance obligations are also a regular part of the advice provided by the firm: helping companies, under the privilege of the attorney-client relationship, to comply with internal, national and international compliance standards.
Morales Abogados Penalistas has grown by combining very different lawyer profiles to face the complexity of both the criminal legal sector and the ongoing cases. The firm is composed by eight criminal lawyers, including the partners, who always advise our clients under the premise of providing the highest quality advice and a service of excellence.
