Our team is made up of excellent litigators who advise on all kinds of civil and commercial proceedings and appeals, as well as proceedings and appeals involving government bodies and public entities. Our understanding of our client’s business allows us to advise them and defend their interests before the courts from the best possible position. Our clients also receive reports and legal opinions to identify and prevent potential legal risk, or to evaluate different alternatives to court, or to better know their possibilities before court and the different consequences of their potential legal actions. Once the proceeding has been initiated, they receive detailed information on all the phases and instances. On many occasions, we bring together a multidisciplinary team so we can provide advice on our client’s cases taking into consideration the different disciplines that may be affected by the dispute (tax law, commercial law, real estate, intellectual property law, public law, etc.). Our team is also involved in arbitration proceedings on a regular basis, as either arbitrators or lawyers for one of the parties. This enables us to advise our clients on the following areas:

• Advise on pre-arbitration steps to be taken depending on which kind of arbitration is being considered.
• Drafting of arbitration agreements to be included in contracts of any kind.
• Establishing rules of arbitration and advise on the most suitable institution or ad hoc arbitration.
• Defining the arbitration procedure in the terms of reference.
• Proceedings for the annulment, revision and enforcement of awards.
• Procedures relating to the recognition and enforcement of foreign awards in Spain.
• Legal representation in arbitration proceedings before Spain’s most important courts of arbitration (Corte Civil y Mercantil de Arbitraje – CIMA, Corte Española de Arbitraje, Tribunal Arbitral de Barcelona – TAB, Corte de Arbitraje de la Cámara de Comercio de Madrid, etc.).
