EU Business News- Spanish Business Awards 2025 Jan25328 For more than 50 years now, Fieldfisher Spain has been committed to displaying legal excellence, with each of its lawyers boasting unwavering attention to detail and a desire to deliver the highest calibre of service to all of its clients. Renowned for its professional approach to domestic and overseas clients alike, this commercial law firm is lauded for the strong relationships it builds with its clients and the strong results it receives thanks to its subject matter experts – experts such as Javier Cuairán. A senior lawyer specialising in economic criminal law, Javier Cuairán has spent more than 20 years defending and prosecuting in technically complex, high-stakes proceedings before the Supreme Court, the National High Court, and in other such courts right across Spain. The cases that Javier takes on range from corruption offences through to money laundering, corporate offences, and crimes against the consumer market, to name just a few. Javier’s expertise dates back to his comprehensive legal education, which includes a master’s degree in economic criminal law from Madrid’s Rey Juan Carlos University and another in international economic criminal law from the University of Granada. Javier also holds a master’s degree in law and legal practice from the School of Legal Practice of the Vizcaya Bar Association, as well as a postgraduate degree in criminal and procedural law from the German School of Criminal Sciences of the world-renowned University of Göttingen.

Repeatedly demonstrating his abilities on behalf of the firm, just one highlight of Javier’s time with the firm includes the successful resolution of two cassation appeals in complicated economic crime cases held before the Supreme Court, a setting where the admission rate is less than 3%, and even lower with a hearing.
