Criminal defence of companies and their executives in cybercrime, data breach, ransomware and crypto-asset matters.
Our approach
Cybercrime combines criminal procedure with technical demands: preservation of digital evidence, court-appointed IT expert reports, international cooperation and referral to the JUNALCO public prosecutor’s office. The firm has a strong command of blockchain and crypto-asset issues.
Areas of practice

- Data breaches and criminal liability under the GDPR
- Ransomware: defence of companies subjected to ransom demands and of defendants
- Seizure and confiscation of crypto-assets — high-stakes defence
- Cyberharassment and online abuse
- Organised online fraud
