Arantxa Geijo Jiménez

Arantxa Geijo Jiménez is the Managing Partner of Geijo & Associates and the recipient of the International and Criminal Lawyer of the Year in Spain award at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. Her recognition reflects a specialist career in international criminal law and cross-border cooperation, informed by direct experience of the mechanisms that govern global law enforcement.

What distinguishes Ms Geijo among international criminal practitioners is her background inside the system itself. Before establishing her practice she served as an adviser in the Legal Department of INTERPOL's General Secretariat, giving her first-hand knowledge of how international alerts, cooperation channels and enforcement processes actually operate. That perspective allows her to advise individuals caught up in cross-border criminal matters with an unusually precise understanding of the procedures, standards and remedies available to them, and to develop tailored legal and strategic solutions for sensitive international cases.

Her practice concentrates on complex, cross-border criminal matters, including the management of international alerts, extradition proceedings and questions of international cooperation. These are cases in which individuals frequently face legal exposure across several jurisdictions at once, and where the interplay between national criminal systems and international enforcement bodies demands both technical command and strategic judgement. Ms Geijo is known for handling such matters with discretion and effectiveness, qualities essential when reputations, liberty and international mobility are at stake.

Ms Geijo leads Geijo & Associates, a boutique firm dedicated to this specialist area and operating across several jurisdictions with more than two decades of collective experience. The firm maintains a presence spanning Madrid, Valencia and Dubai, reflecting the international nature of its caseload and the geographic spread of the clients it represents. Working within a focused, boutique structure enables Ms Geijo to bring senior attention to each matter and to draw directly on her institutional knowledge rather than delegating the most sensitive strategic questions.

Being named International and Criminal Lawyer of the Year in Spain places Ms Geijo among the individual practitioners the Corporate INTL Global Awards are designed to highlight, those whose expertise and results distinguish them within a demanding field. Combining insider knowledge of international enforcement with a focused criminal practice, she continues to represent clients navigating the difficult terrain where national criminal law meets cross-border cooperation, offering strategic guidance grounded in genuine institutional experience.
