NET CRAMAN

What NET CRAMAN does

NET CRAMAN (legal name: Net Craman Abogados Asociados, S.L.P.) is a private Spanish law firm founded in 2003 and headquartered in Barcelona, specializing in cross-border legal advisory between Spain and Asia. The firm operates as a full-service professional practice covering 16 core legal areas including corporate/M&A, tax, labor, litigation and arbitration, immigration, intellectual property, real estate, criminal law, compliance, and bankruptcy/restructuring, alongside eight sector specializations spanning retail, family business, hospitality, energy (especially renewables), blockchain, foundations, and venture capital/startups. Its defining differentiator is the Asia Desk (also called China Desk), anchored by proprietary offices in Guangzhou, Hong Kong, and Singapore, making it the only Spanish law firm with its own offices in southern China and a Chinese government license to practice law in the People's Republic of China. The firm also maintains a Madrid office, giving it five locations across four jurisdictions.

The business model is that of a traditional professional services firm. NET CRAMAN generates revenue through project-based and retainer legal advisory engagements billed to corporate clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing, hourly rates, or fee structures. Its primary client segments are bidirectional: Spanish companies seeking to establish or invest in Asian markets (particularly China, Hong Kong, Singapore, and ASEAN), and Asian companies (Chinese, Korean, and others) investing in or operating in Spain. Named enterprise clients include Mango, Camper, Iljin Materials, and Yield Lab Europe, with additional exposure to SMEs, family businesses, startups, and non-profits. The firm pursues a sales-led go-to-market approach through direct client engagement, professional network referrals, conferences, webinars (notably with Foment del Treball and ICEX), press coverage in major Spanish business media, and thought-leadership content via blog and LinkedIn.

NET CRAMAN does not develop proprietary software or technology products; its core capability is legal expertise, bilingual Spanish-Chinese teams, and cross-cultural competence in Spain-Asia business transactions. The firm employs 11-50 people across its five offices, with a team that includes partners, lawyers, and administrative staff. It is independently owned as a professional limited company (S.L.P.) with no disclosed parent company, private equity ownership, or institutional investment. Recognitions include the Expansión 2025 Top 50 Law Firms in Spain ranking and Best Lawyers 2025, reflecting over two decades of brand building in the Spain-Asia corridor.

Direct peers

• Garrigues: Largest Spanish law firm by headcount with extensive international network including Asia-LATAM cross-border advisory. Overlaps with NET CRAMAN in corporate, tax, and labor advisory and in advising Spanish enterprises expanding abroad, including into Asia.
• King & Wood Mallesons: Asia-headquartered global firm born from a merger of an Australian and a leading Chinese firm, with a strong outbound China-into-Europe practice. A structural comparison for NET CRAMAN's positioning as a bridge between Asia and Iberia/Europe.
• Uría Menéndez: One of Spain's largest and most international law firms, with a long-established Asia desk (offices in Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Tokyo) advising Spanish corporates and Asian investors on cross-border deals. Directly comparable to NET CRAMAN's Spain-Asia cross-border mandate, though at significantly larger scale.
• Cuatrecasas: Major Iberian law firm with deep international practice including Asia (offices in Shanghai and a coordinated Asia desk covering China and ASEAN). Competes for the same Spanish corporate/Asia cross-border mandates and similar M&A, tax, and regulatory matters as NET CRAMAN.
• Rödl & Partner: German-rooted international firm with substantial presence in Spain (Barcelona and Madrid) and across China and Southeast Asia. Comparable mid-sized cross-border Spain-Asia/CN business advisory to NET CRAMAN, especially for German and Spanish Mittelstand-to-Asia mandates.
• Gómez-Acebo & Pombo: Established Spanish law firm with international reach and growing Asia-related practice. Direct competitor for Spanish corporate cross-border mandates, including Europe-Asia transactions, at similar size tier to NET CRAMAN.

Broad incumbents

• A&O Shearman: Magic Circle global firm (formed from Allen & Overy and Shearman & Sterling) with strong Madrid, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong Kong, and Singapore offices. Competes for the largest Spain-Asia cross-border M&A, finance, and disputes matters at the upper end of NET CRAMAN's competitor set.
• Baker McKenzie: Global law firm with the largest Spain desk and significant China/Asia presence, frequently serving as lead international counsel on Spain-Asia transactions. Competes with NET CRAMAN for cross-border mandates but at vastly larger scale and across full-service offerings.
• Clifford Chance: Magic Circle firm with top-tier Madrid office and major Asia presence (Hong Kong, Singapore, Shanghai, Beijing). Frequently lead-counsel on the highest-value Spain-Asia inbound and outbound transactions, adjacent to NET CRAMAN's niche.
• DLA Piper: Global firm with a Spanish presence (via legacy Iberian combinations) and extensive Asia network. Competes for cross-border M&A and corporate mandates between Iberia and Asia, typically at the upper end of the market.
