Spanish term or phrase: derecho penal no empresarial y de familia
This is from a fee quote from a Colombian law firm. The sentence reads:

Estamos en capacidad de atender todas las necesidades legales de nuestros clientes, con excepción de aquellas relacionadas con DERECHO PENAL NO EMPRESARIAL Y DE FAMILIA.

I know that there's "criminal law" and "non-commercial law", but is there such a thing as "non-commercial criminal law"?

Thanks for the help!
