Criminal liability of legal entities
Since the entry into force of Organic Law 5/2010 amending the Criminal Code, under which legal entities can be held criminally liable for certain offenses committed by their executives or employees in the course of their duties, SMK Lawyers provides legal advice and defense in this area. We offer guidance to help companies implement internal protocols that prevent them from being held criminally liable, avoiding the serious consequences that may result (fines, dissolution of the legal entity, suspension of activities, closure of premises and establishments, judicial intervention, etc.); and defense in cases where the legal entity is already under investigation in criminal proceedings, with the goal of avoiding or minimizing the consequences of a criminal conviction.
