JOYN Penal

• Rigorous and demanding basic methodology
  

• A dynamic approach to criminal risk through anticipation and proactivity
  

Criminal law crops up most often by surprise, whether in private or professional spheres: summons to appear before the police, blocking an account or summons to appear before a police court are sources of destabilisation. The criminal procedure is often disparaged: opaque, arbitrary, long, and unpredictable are all words used to describe it. In the criminal law field, anything can contribute to a growing feeling of distrust and apprehension.

The basic requirement

In this hostile environment, the lawyer's place is key. A simplistic vision represents it as guaranteeing the rights of the defence. At JOYN Criminal, obviously other qualities are required: teaching skills to explain the meanders of the procedure to the client, clairvoyance to define the objectives of a defence, diplomacy to successfully complete procedures with a magistrate, methodology and rigour to analyse voluminous cases and the ability to summarise and good repartee when it comes to speaking... JOYN Criminal continues to pursue these basic requirements.

Proactive anticipation

By its very essence, the intervention of the lawyer in criminal procedures is offset in relation to the fact generating the liability. By acting on anticipation and proactivity, JOYN Penal has a more dynamic approach to criminal risk. This method avoids the occurrence of certain events (e.g. premises search) or anticipates the management of situations that may arise (e.g. preparation for a hearing). It also involves investment in training/prevention, independent of any criminal procedure (e.g. criminal procedure training course modules)
