Criminal Defence
Facing criminal investigation or prosecution — particularly in a foreign jurisdiction — is one of the most stressful experiences a person or company can endure. Meridio Legge's criminal defence team provides robust, strategically focused representation from the earliest investigative stages through trial and appeal.
Our criminal lawyers are experienced in both the Italian criminal procedure and cross-border criminal cooperation mechanisms.
