Criminal law
Facing criminal proceedings is one of the most stressful experiences in an individual’s life. Traditionally, legal support is often reactive and centered on complex legal texts, leaving clients confused and anxious. Our methodology uses Legal Design Thinking to turn criminal law into a strategic, clear, and transparent process.
We are not just your lawyer. We are your partner, strategist, and designer of your defense, with a mission to restore your sense of control and provide the most effective legal protection.
1. Empathetic start and strategy design phase
The first step is to deeply understand the situation, not just legally but personally.
Case roadmap: During initial consultations, we create a visual “roadmap” of your case. It includes key procedural stages (investigation, trial, appeal), estimated timelines, potential outcomes, and costs. This roadmap demystifies the process and provides a clear action plan.
Empathetic interview: Through a structured and confidential conversation, we collect facts while also understanding your fears, concerns, and expectations. This phase forms the foundation for a personalized and effective strategy.
Strategy design process: Together with you, we design an optimal defense strategy, taking into account all legal, personal, and reputational aspects.
2. Investigation and proactive risk management phase
The investigation phase is key to laying the groundwork for trial. Our role is to take control of the process.
Communication design: We advise you on every step of communication with investigative authorities and prosecutors, ensuring your statements are clear and consistent with your strategy.
Evidence management: We assist in collecting and organizing evidence, creating an “evidence map” that clearly links proofs to our arguments.
Transparency via digital platform: We provide secure access to all relevant documents through a digital platform, giving you continuous insight into your case.
3. Trial and crafting a winning narrative phase
Trial is not just a fight, but also “storytelling.” Our task is to design a narrative that convinces the court.
Argument map: For the trial, we create an “argument map,” a visual representation connecting testimonies, evidence, and legal bases into a coherent and logical story.
Cross-examination with purpose: Every question is carefully designed to challenge the credibility of the opposing side or strengthen our position.
Visualizing complex information: For complex cases (e.g., corporate or high-tech crime), we use graphics and visual presentations to simplify intricate data and make it understandable for the court.
4. Specialized design for international and complex cases
Extradition and Interpol
Holistic strategy: We design a comprehensive strategy covering both extradition procedures domestically and defense in the main criminal case abroad.
Request for Interpol notice removal: We proactively file a request to remove an Interpol “red notice” with the Commission for the Control of Interpol Files (CCF) based on political nature, human rights violations, or procedural errors.
Representation in extradition proceedings: We represent you in court, arguing against extradition on all relevant legal grounds.
Victim representation: For victims of crimes, we design a “justice restoration” process, which includes legal procedures and support in claiming compensation.
Witness protection and preparation: We ensure witnesses are prepared for testimony in complex cases.
Corporate and high-tech crime: For these complex areas, we design specialized defense strategies combining legal expertise with technical knowledge.
5. Appeal phase and regaining control
Our work does not end with the verdict; we continue with the same dedication.
Appeal design: We analyze the judgment and, if necessary, prepare an appeal focused on key procedural or substantive errors.
Review process: We advise and represent you during review proceedings to ensure a fair outcome.
In criminal law, our mission is to transform the law from a source of fear into a designed tool for pursuing justice. Through transparency, empathy, and strategic partnership, we empower you to overcome challenges and achieve the best possible outcome.
