Gómez-Acebo & Pombo among the Top 10 Most Innovative Law Firms in Europe, according to the Financial Times

icon 27 of June, 2025

Gómez-Acebo & Pombo is honoured to be included in the Top 10 of the Special Report: Innovative Lawyers: 20 years published by the Financial Times, which recognises the most innovative law firms in continental Europe — those that have consistently demonstrated leadership in innovation and transformation.

For Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, this recognition reflects our strong commitment to applied and strategic innovation, showcased through initiatives such as the Pombo Tokens (2018), the first legal-sector crypto-asset with a social purpose; the Labour Compliance Tool (2022), nominated as Most Innovative Project at the Expansión Jurídico Awards; and the first legal event held in the metaverse (2021), a milestone in exploring new forms of professional interaction. This commitment is further evidenced by our Strategic Digital Transformation Plan, which drove a 35% increase in tech investment in 2020 and 26% in 2023, and the launch of a dedicated ESG and sustainability practice (2021), reinforced by the creation of the GA_P – ICADE Chair (2024) for the study of law and business through a responsible lens — a hallmark that has positioned us among the leading firms in Europe in this field.

Gómez-Acebo & Pombo’s inclusion in the Top 10 of this landmark edition strengthens our position as a firm committed to innovation, excellence, and continuous improvement. Over the past two decades, we have worked to embed technology into our business model, enabling us to anticipate client needs and deliver the most agile and efficient legal structures tailored to each challenge.

Legal doctrine of the UPC’s Court of Appeal on the patent invalidity defence: is the way in which the ‘long arm’ is applied compatible with the UPC's own Rules of Procedure?
The Court of Appeal of the Unified Patent Court has ruled that a patent invalidity defence cannot be raised before the Unified Patent Court, with only a counterclaim being possible. This calls into question the way in which the ‘long arm’ is being applied with regard to European patents validated in States that are not party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court (UPCA), whether or not they are members of the European Union, since no counterclaim for revocation or plea of invalidity as a defence can be filed or raised with regard to such patents. This raises significant doubts about the compatibility of how the ‘long arm’ is applied in the Unified Patent Court system, given its own Rules of Procedure.

Irregularities in public sector staffing. Jurisdiction and/or substantive law
When a serious irregularity is found in administrative contracts owing to their employment character, jurisdiction lies with the employment branch of the court system. However, if the administrative route is not outside the scope of the law, jurisdiction lies with the judicial review branch of the court system.

Squeeze-out of minority shareholders following successful mandatory takeover bid: rebuttable presumption of fair consideration
The Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber), in its judgment of 27 November 2025 (Case C-567/24, Svema Trade), concerning the equitable price in a squeeze-out requiring minority shareholders to sell their shares to an offeror who, following a mandatory takeover bid, has acquired more than 90% of the capital carrying voting rights in the company subject of the takeover bid, states that the presumption that the price offered in the bid, in the context of such a squeeze-out of holders of securities, is equitable is rebuttable.

Senior management, membership of the board of directors and insolvency proceedings: single association theory yes, but also employer-employee relationship
Despite classifying the association as a commercial relationship and not an employment relationship, compensation amounts for termination of contract are allowed if they match those accepted by the insolvency practitioners, just as remuneration amounts are allowed if said practitioners had decided to accept remuneration in some months but not in others.

Notarial enforcement of pledges. Is Article 1872 of the Civil Code mandatory? In what sense?
The clause agreed upon must comply, for greater certainty, with the provisions of the new judicial enforcement procedure. It will be necessary to agree on an appraised value, which is not required in Article 1872 CC, because otherwise the award would be similar to a ‘forfeiture proviso’ (pactum commissorium), which the Civil Code neutralised with the drastic imposition of extinguishment of the debt in its entirety.
