The firm represents clients from a wide variety of sectors, including the telecommunications, insurance, banking, sports, road transport, air navigation and advertising sectors.

We are committed to resolving disputes in an efficient manner, either at the pre-litigious stage by providing solutions which are both practical and useful to the client’s business, as well as before the courts and tribunals where we have proven our ability to obtain the best results for our clients. The team has been recognised both by our peers and the courts.

Our clients are mainly large national and international, listed and non-listed companies from all sectors of the economy. We are specialised in particularly complex litigation that requires careful case study and strategic analysis, consideration of the best approach to the dispute as well as using several of the firm’s areas of specialisation. We have advised on some of the most significant legal disputes that have taken place in Spain in recent years. We also advise small and medium-sized enterprises on all types of public and private disputes.
