Aktion Legal Partners

What Aktion Legal Partners does

Aktion Legal Partners (legal entity AKTION LEGAL PARTNERS, S.L.P.) is a Spanish boutique law firm founded in 2017 by Juan M. Pérez and Antonio González Asturiano, headquartered in Valencia with a second office in Madrid. The firm provides legal advisory services across eight practice areas — Corporate & Startups, Venture Capital, M&A, Tax, Tech & Privacy, Blockchain & Crypto, Insolvency & Litigation, and Labor Law — with a deliberate specialization in the Spanish startup-investor ecosystem. The client base is concentrated in venture-backed technology companies and the VC funds and business angels that finance them, with additional corporate clients served on cross-border M&A transactions. Representative engagements include advising Voicemod through multiple rounds and an acquisition, Citibox on a €100M round, Bit2Me on a €14M round and a €20M ICO, Matteco on a €15M round, and Bdeo on a €7.5M round, alongside a long tail of smaller seed and Series A mandates.

The firm operates a traditional professional services model: revenue is generated through hourly rates, fixed fees for transactions (funding rounds, M&A), and retainer arrangements. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is entirely direct, with no reseller or partner channel — engagement originates through the firm's website, ecosystem partnerships, events, and inbound from the broader Spanish startup community. The firm has no proprietary software platform, no public API, and no mobile applications; its technology footprint is limited to a legaltech initiative (including an investment in Parallel) intended to enhance service delivery rather than serve as a standalone product.

Commercially, Aktion pursues a community-led and event-driven go-to-market strategy, maintaining active presence in the Spanish entrepreneurial ecosystem through partnerships with Startup Valencia, Demium Startups, Big Ban Angels (where co-founder Pérez serves as board secretary), Santander X, and Espaitec/UJI. The firm is recognized by Chambers & Partners Europe as a top Venture Capital law firm in Spain for three consecutive years (2023, 2024, 2025) and was ranked 3rd nationally by TTR for venture capital operations advised, having progressed from Top 10 in earlier years. Customer concentration sits at a moderate level — the logo base spans at least 15 disclosed startup clients across diverse verticals, but a handful of large-ticket rounds likely account for a disproportionate share of revenue.
