What BROSETA does

BROSETA (legal name: Broseta Abogados, S.L.P.) is a multidisciplinary Spanish law firm founded in 1975 in Valencia by Professor Manuel Broseta Pont and now led by his son Manuel Broseta Dupré as President alongside Managing Partner Rosa Vidal. The firm is structured as a Sociedad Limitada Profesional under Spanish law with no external institutional shareholders, and it operates from five directly owned offices in Valencia (headquarters), Madrid, Barcelona, Lisbon, and Zurich. Nearly 300 lawyers across 35+ partners deliver counsel across 17 practice areas—including Administrative, Banking & Finance, Competition/EU, Compliance, ESG, Family Business, Tax, Labor, M&A/Private Equity, Commercial, White Collar Crime, Privacy/IT, Procedural/Arbitration, Intellectual Property, Bankruptcy/Restructuring, Wealth Management, and Grants & Investments—with sector specialization across 20+ industries.

The firm's product is partner-led professional legal services, delivered directly through its office network and supplemented by two wholly-owned subsidiaries: BROSETA Compliance (governance, internal control, and compliance solutions) and Business Initiatives Consulting (subsidies and public aid). BROSETA also convenes and leads the Ibero-American Legal Network (RLI), an alliance of law firms across 17+ countries with 700+ lawyers, which functions as a cross-border referral and coordination platform for mandates between Europe, Latin America, and (via FPA Advogados) Angola. Distribution is direct and partner-led; there is no franchise, reseller, or digital self-serve channel.

Revenue is generated primarily through time-based professional fees (rates varying by professional category), with alternative fee arrangements including fixed budgets, success-based budgets, and CPI-adjusted monthly retainer contracts. The only publicly disclosed revenue figure is €26.7M for FY2020 (from the firm press room); subsequent expansion—Barcelona (2022), full integration of Portugal (2023), Lisbon revenue tripling since 2018, and six partner promotions in March 2026 under the Horizonte 27 strategic plan—indicates a firm in active growth mode. The firm is recognized by Chambers & Partners, IFLR 1000, Best Lawyers, and The Legal 500 across multiple practice areas and is positioned in the Top 10 of Spanish M&A advisors for 2025.
