The Pérez-Llorca/IE Chair is a joint initiative between IE Law School and Pérez-Llorca. It is a unique agreement that benefits from the expert knowledge of an academic institution and the experience of a professional law firm, focusing on the field of commercial law. It promotes research and the dissemination of specialised knowledge in this area and related disciplines from an international perspective.
This project focuses on the practice of law both at a national and an international level and first-rate professionals are chosen as speakers for the seminars and workshops. Among these speakers are prominent figures from the academic world as well as judges, senior judges and ministers who delve into and reflect on current legal issues, their practical importance and their legal scope. Since its creation in 2010, the Pérez-Llorca/IE Chair has held numerous seminars and workshops at an international level thanks to the international expansion of both establishments. Since 2016, the project has expanded globally thanks to the support of Pérez-Llorca’s offices abroad (in London and New York).

Pérez-Llorca/ICADE Chair
The Pérez-Llorca/ICADE Chair on Economics and Competition Law, created through the collaboration agreement recently signed by the Universidad Pontificia Comillas and Pérez-Llorca, aims to become a forum for study, research and debate on the relationships between these two social sciences and the impact that the interaction between them has on markets and competition between companies and states.
The research and knowledge-sharing aims of this collaboration are:
Studying the mutual interdependence of economics and competition law
Analysing the impact of legal regulation on markets and competition.
Improving the regulatory situation in Spain and searching for formulas that improve market efficiency and favour good business practices.
Researching the role of states in the economy and their impact on markets.
Furthermore, by virtue of this agreement, a research line on economics and competition law will be launched, and to this end, the Chair will finance a PhD scholarship to train a student in the Chair’s disciplines, with the aim that this training will contribute to the completion of his or her doctoral thesis.
