Cases & Lacambra has launched its Business Criminal, Compliance and Corporate Investigations practice with the signing of Oscar Morales, head of Uría Menéndez’s criminal practice in Barcelona for almost two decades.

Oscar Morales

D. in Law and Professor of Criminal Law and a law degree from the University of Cantabria, he ended his time at Uría Menéndes in 2022, after more than 19 years at the firm, when he joined the boutique Morales Abogados Penalistas.

Behind this strategic decision lies the firm’s vision to give greater depth to its fraud, financial crime and asset recovery practice, as well as to accompany its institutional clients in criminal compliance, areas of extreme complexity that require strong specialization, a hallmark of the firm’s identity.

Cases & Lacambra

“Our clients, many of them international and with an institutional profile, have a structural and economic complexity that requires us to be attentive to all their needs, including preventive advice, the development of regulatory compliance models and, if necessary, advice on litigation,” say Cases & Lacambra. And they add: “It is not only important to advise our clients on prevention and defend them, we must also use all legitimate means in defense of their interests, especially in cases of recovery of assets derived from fraud and corruption”.

Cases & Lacambra was born in 2013 and has offices in Andorra, Barcelona, Madrid and Miami. The firm’s hallmark is the specialization of its teams and its commitment to the complexity of the matters it accepts.
