Arantxa Geijo Jiménez

Geijo & Associates, the boutique practice led by Managing Partner Arantxa Geijo Jiménez, was named INTERPOL Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the 2024 Corporate INTL Global Awards. The firm is exclusively dedicated to INTERPOL-related matters, a highly specialised niche within international criminal law, and the recognition reflects its focus on helping individuals challenge and manage the international alerts and cooperation mechanisms that can profoundly affect their freedom and mobility.

The firm's distinguishing strength is the insider knowledge of its founder. Before establishing the practice, Ms Geijo served as an adviser in the Legal Department of INTERPOL's General Secretariat, and she brings that direct experience of the organisation's procedures to the representation of clients affected by its systems. This allows Geijo & Associates to offer customised legal and strategic solutions across all aspects of INTERPOL regulation, grounded in a genuine understanding of how alerts are issued, reviewed and, where appropriate, removed.

Geijo & Associates concentrates on the management of Red Notices and other international alerts, cross-border cooperation, extradition proceedings and complex international criminal cases. Individuals subject to a Red Notice or diffusion may face detention, restricted travel and reputational harm across multiple countries, often without a clear route to challenge the underlying request. The firm works to address these situations through the proper channels, including applications to INTERPOL's own review mechanisms, combining technical precision with the discretion that sensitive international matters demand.

Operating as a focused boutique, the firm maintains a presence spanning Madrid, Valencia and Dubai, reflecting the international character of its caseload and the global reach required to serve clients whose exposure crosses borders. More than two decades of collective experience underpin its work, and its concentration on a single specialist field allows it to build deep expertise rather than diluting attention across unrelated practice areas. The firm emphasises effectiveness and unparalleled experience, positioning itself as a dedicated resource for a problem that few practices are equipped to handle.

Recognition as INTERPOL Law Firm of the Year in Spain places Geijo & Associates among the specialist advisers the Corporate INTL Global Awards are designed to highlight, those whose focused expertise sets them apart. Under Ms Geijo's leadership, the firm continues to represent clients navigating the complex intersection of national criminal systems and international enforcement, offering strategic, discreet counsel informed by direct experience of the INTERPOL framework itself.
