International Criminal Defense

Criminal defense in international criminal proceedings with a deep understanding of European and international contexts

Foreign legal systems are increasingly influencing German criminal proceedings, especially for international companies.

Whenever an investigation crosses national borders, a successful defense requires not only knowledge of German law but also an understanding of international and European legal mechanisms.

We support you with extensive experience and strategic defense in complex, cross-border criminal proceedings.

Protection in cross-border criminal proceedings

Increasingly, criminal defense lawyers are confronted with international issues in specific mandates, especially when prosecution against the client occurs in various states, the client has been detained abroad, or another state requests their extradition. Points of contact with foreign legal systems arise within the framework of mutual legal assistance as well as during investigations against multinational companies.

The transnational deployment of European investigative authorities – such as the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF), Europol, or Eurojust – must be met competently and effectively. This requires detailed expertise and corresponding experience in criminal defense.

We defend against:

  • International arrest warrants
  • Extradition requests
