We are delighted to share that Fukuro Legal has been recognised by Iberian Lawyer as White Collar Crime Team of the Year at the 40 Under 40 Awards 2026. The award was presented at the ceremony on 24 September 2026 and recognises our team's work in criminal defence involving economic and financial crime in Spain.
Some awards recognise what you do. Others remind you who you do it with. This one does both, and we would like to take a moment to explain why it matters so much to us.
About the Iberian Lawyer 40 Under 40 Awards
Iberian Lawyer is one of the leading publications covering the legal market in Spain and Portugal. Its annual Forty Under 40 Awards celebrate the lawyers and teams who are shaping the future of the legal profession across the Iberian Peninsula.
Being named White Collar Crime Team of the Year is an honour we do not take for granted. Our sincere congratulations go to all the other winners and finalists of this edition.
More than an award for our work
Since 2022, we have worked on numerous cases. There have been days of intense pressure, long nights and challenging moments. But there have also been plenty of laughs, celebrations, conversations and some bottles opened when, in the end, everything worked out.
And perhaps that is what means the most to us about this recognition. It is not just an award for the work we do. It is a recognition of the people who make it possible: every lawyer, advisor and member of our team who has put in the hours, the care and the precision that economic criminal cases demand.
Our white collar crime practice in Spain
White collar crime cases are rarely simple. They often involve complex financial records, several jurisdictions, long investigation phases and, for our clients, a great deal at stake, both personally and professionally. Our team defends individuals and companies in proceedings involving:
- Money laundering, including cross-border investigations
- Tax offences and crimes against the Public Treasury
- Corruption between private parties
- Fraud, misappropriation and unfair administration
- Criminal compliance and the prevention of corporate criminal liability
Many of our clients are foreign nationals or international businesses facing the Spanish criminal justice system for the first time. That is why we place so much value on clear communication, early strategy and a defence that protects their rights at every stage of the proceedings. You can get to know the people behind this work on our team page.
A recognition we share
This recognition reflects what we stand for as a firm: to observe with patience, act with precision and defend with integrity.
Thank you to Iberian Lawyer and the jury for this recognition. Thank you to our team for these years. And thank you to every client, colleague and professional who has placed their trust in us along the way.
