Criminal Lawyers Santander: Criminal Defense in Cantabria

From Santander, we provide legal coverage to all of Cantabria. Our firm focuses on the effective resolution of complex criminal conflicts, with special attention to the port and financial sphere of the Cantabrian capital.

Financial and Port Crimes

We defend interests in key sectors of the local economy:

  • Misappropriation and Unfair Administration: Defense of bank managers, asset managers, and property administrators against claims for fraudulent management of third-party funds.
  • Maritime Criminal Law (Port of Santander): Legal assistance for incidents in the port: drug findings in containers, stowaways, or crimes against safety at work in the port environment.

Urban Planning and Environment Crimes

Defense in proceedings for illegal works in protected coastal areas or natural parks, fighting against demolition orders and coercive fines through criminal proceedings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a practice in Santander?
No. The firm is based solely in Madrid, at Calle Velázquez 27, and from there takes on defence work before courts throughout Spain. In Cantabrian matters counsel travels to the judicial district and the first consultation is by appointment, in person or by video call.
Which offences do you defend in Santander?
The Cantabrian caseload combines financial and port-related offences — misappropriation and unfair administration, maritime criminal law tied to the port of Santander — with planning and environmental offences.
Do you take on criminal matters connected with the port of Santander?
Yes. Port traffic generates its own caseload: smuggling, customs offences, the liability of operators and shipping agents, and offences against safety in loading and unloading operations.
Do you act in Torrelavega, Laredo or Castro Urdiales?
Yes. We appear before the investigating courts of Santander and those of the Torrelavega, Laredo, Castro Urdiales and Reinosa districts, as well as before the criminal courts, the Provincial Court of Cantabria and the High Court of Justice of Cantabria.

Criminal defence based in Madrid with national coverage.
