AREA
Public
Economic and social development has meant a growing presence and participation of public authorities in the different areas of personal and business relationships – whether in the role of regulator, operator, supervisor or guarantor of general interests. In parallel, this development in society has led to the demand for measures to guarantee individuals’ rights along with specific procedures – administrative or judicial – under which to enforce them.

The impact of tax on a business can be decisive when it comes to maximising business returns. Faced with a growing need by tax authorities to collect revenues, responsible companies need to ensure they comply strictly with tax regulations but without losing sight of the need to maximise profits.

White Collar Crime
From a business perspective, the Reform of the Criminal Code Act 5/2010 marked the beginning of a new era in corporate criminal law by making legal entities capable of committing crimes and therefore punishable with real penalties. This amendment greatly increased the need for companies to have adequate professional advice in criminal law – not only to deal with any criminal conduct of which they are often victims, but also to avoid themselves from being incriminated.

AREA
Compliance
The increasing complexity of organisations and the regulatory environment makes it particularly important for organisations to manage compliance with internal and external standards to avoid penalties and more importantly preserve their reputation from business misconduct or breach of regulations.

US Legal Gateway
The U.S. market offers a significant opportunity for international expansion for Spanish companies, driven by its scale, economic dynamism, and stability. As a strategic trade partner, it stands out as a priority destination for direct investment in high-potential sectors such as technology, renewable energy, infrastructure, and agri-food industries. However, operating in the U.S. entails significant legal and regulatory challenges due to its complex federal, state, and local legal framework. Areas such as taxation, contracts, data protection, and sector-specific regulations can become barriers if not properly addressed and managed.
