Legal assessments for specific cases

With extensive academic experience, the firm’s partners hold specialization degrees, Master’s and PhD degrees, and have authored numerous legal books and scholarly articles, in addition to delivering lectures and academic presentations.

By combining this theoretical background with professional practice, the firm prepares legal opinions upon request, providing the consulting party with a formal, well-reasoned legal assessment of the proposed case. Such opinions may be used in judicial proceedings or in strategic decision-making meetings.

The preparation of case-specific and targeted legal studies aimed at identifying potential criminal implications of a given activity—particularly in the corporate context, whether public or private—has proven to be an effective measure to prevent undue criminal liability and administrative sanctions.

From public procurement procedures to contracts between private companies and individuals, a lack of rigor in decision-making at each stage of a transaction often results in indiscriminate criminal accusations against all parties involved, without proper individualization of conduct.

The same issue frequently arises in judicial proceedings, where charges are sometimes generic and non-specific. In such situations, a detailed examination of internal command structures and external beneficiaries, conducted through a legal opinion, allows for a more comprehensive assessment of the facts and for legal reclassification capable of limiting the scope of potential criminal liability.

Likewise, the expansion of Criminal Law into other areas of law—through the criminalization of practices previously regulated solely by supervisory agencies (such as in the financial, environmental, and tax fields)—highlights the importance of a prior technical legal opinion assessing the potential criminal impact of certain activities, in order to avoid unexpected and unforeseen legal consequences.
