Chambers Review
Gómez-Acebo is an independent Spanish law firm that has significant resources within Spain and has a strong focus on international work, supported by offices in New York, London, Lisbon and Brussels. The firm frequently collaborates with other European and global independent firms to provide multi-jurisdictional solutions for Spanish and international clients.
The firm is well positioned to advise clients on inbound investment into the Spanish market and is a popular referral choice for large international firms running global deals. A boots-on-the-ground presence in the USA and the UK helps the firm to stay close to clients in key markets and to advise efficiently across borders, often with regard to venture capital investment. It is also experienced in outbound mandates, often into Latin America and Europe, advising on life sciences, real estate and automotive deals.
The law firm is often engaged on cross-border commercial litigation and international arbitration, and it demonstrates a strong track record of representing Spanish energy companies in international disputes. It is also sought after to advise on the Spanish aspects of multi-jurisdictional insolvency proceedings and competition litigation.
