ILA: in Criminal Legal Defence in the States of the European Union
The entire specialist staff of ILA – International Lawyers Associates has an in-depth knowledge of European national law, which enables its lawyers to produce an effective criminal legal defence in every EU Member State.
With pride, we can state that our law firm is composed of professionals who speak Italian, English, French and Portuguese indistinctly.
There is more: International Lawyers enjoys the collaboration of more than 80 lawyers in the most important European cities, which allows immediate and constant access to the local Courts, as well as the possibility to constantly visit the detainee, wherever he is.
The assistance system of International Lawyers Associates provides for the establishment of a defence team, consisting of one lawyer in the Italian office and one in the place of detention of the defendant, in order to maximise the defence and peace of mind of the defendant and his family, often residing hundreds of kilometres away from the place of detention of the relative.
The law firm also provides assistance in Greece, Slovenia, Ireland and the United Kingdom, in addition to the latter voluntarily leaving the European Union following Brexit.
International Lawyers Associates can take on assignments before any Court of Justice, at any level and from any European city.

It has a strong presence in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and Alicante. But it is also present in the area of Malaga and Seville, as well as in Zaragoza, Santander and Bilbao. Worthy of separate discussion are the numerous defences, mainly generated by summer and youth episodes, relating to allegations of illegal conduct in the islands: Ibiza, Palma de Mallorca, Formentera and the Canary Islands, especially Tenerife.
International Lawyers Associates has several local domiciliaries in these locations, and travels there with its own lawyers, swiftly and responsibly, when criminal proceedings arise, guaranteeing the client maximum assistance 365 days a year.

The law firm operates constantly in Lisbon, Oporto, Braga and Faro.

Particular attention is paid to issues related to the European Arrest Warrant and the rules of intra- and extra-European judicial cooperation.
Criminal judicial defence in Scandinavian countries
The phenomenon of South American drug trafficking sees the Kingdom of the Netherlands particularly involved as a platform for the arrival and classification of large shipments of drugs, as well as the city of Amsterdam as a location for the production of synthetic and juvenile drugs.
Our lawyers specialise in criminal defence in the Netherlands and have established strong links and defence collaborations, participating in very sensitive trials in Amsterdam and Rotterdam, as well as in The Hague, Utrecht and Eindhoven.
The field of action then spread to the capital cities of the Scandinavian countries and beyond: today, our law firm also specialises in criminal legal defence in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Finland.
The very high costs of defence in the Scandinavian countries are determined by the law, which precisely regulates defence lawyers’ fees. Nevertheless, the high level of professionalism and seriousness of our Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish colleagues has always enabled our international firm to fully meet the needs of our clients. In Sweden, we operate in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmo. In Denmark, in the neighbouring city of Copenhagen. In Norway, we are only present in Oslo and Fredrikstad, while in Finland we can operate in Helsinki, Tampere and Kuopio.

Criminal legal defence in Poland and the Baltic Republics
ILA’s staff is highly specialised in criminal legal defence cases in Poland and the Baltic Republics – Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
The deep infiltration of the Italian firm into Poland and the Baltic area, and vice versa, the ramification of mafias and criminality in these regions into the European continent, have led to the formation of numerous professional agreements between ILA’s foreign missions, associated governmental and diplomatic institutions and numerous Polish colleagues, as well as the Republics of Lithuania, Estonia and Latvia.
The extension of the Polish nation led to the decision to use a fairly extensive network, with addresses in the cities of Warsaw, Krakow, Szczecin and Lodz.
The presence of a full enclave of Russian territory within the continental territory of the European Union (Kaliningrad Territory) and the free access to the area for non-Europeans without a visa, made it necessary to use criminal defence in the surrounding areas. Polish and Lithuanian cities of Gdansk and Kaunas in particular. In Lithuania, we operate in Vilnius and Klaipeda. In Latvia, however, only in Riga as well as Tallinn in Estonia.
Criminal legal defence in Romania
ILA’s lawyers are experts in criminal judicial defence in Romania, and it cannot be denied that it is in this country that our international law firm finds one of its largest client bases.
The phenomenon of bilateralism and judicial cooperation between Italy and Romania and between Romania and other EU countries is particularly intense.
The trials conducted in that country, with the cooperation of the best local lawyers, have also enabled us to achieve excellent and satisfactory professional results. The offences we deal with are numerous: criminal association and computer fraud (especially in the Oradea area), money laundering and drug trafficking (with a significant presence of our houses in the port city of Constanta), child abduction, corporate and tax offences, arrest warrants, etc. We practice, also through our local lawyers, in Bucharest, Timisoara, Constanta, Craiova, Satu Mare and Iași.
