Iuris Catedra

What Iuris Catedra does

IURIS CÁTEDRA, S.L.P. is a Málaga-headquartered professional services firm offering integrated legal and economic advisory to Spanish SMEs, mid-market companies, family businesses, foreign investors, and compliance-mandated corporates. Founded in 2019 through the merger of several Málaga-based professional firms, the firm combines lawyers, economists, and auditors under a single brand across a network of 12 offices in Spain and more than 70 professionals. Its legal practice spans commercial and corporate law, civil law, labor law, insolvency/restructuring (concurso de acreedores), M&A, immigration and real estate, criminal compliance, and succession law; its economic practice covers tax and accounting advisory, labor advisory, financial consulting, and auditing.

The firm has no proprietary technology platform — its digital presence is built on a standard WordPress site with Elementor, and it delivers services via direct professional engagements through its office network rather than a software or channel model. Revenue is earned from professional service fees on project-based or retainer arrangements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is sales-led and relies on direct client engagement across the office footprint, supported by blog content marketing, organic social media (Facebook, LinkedIn), and sports sponsorships (Málaga C.F., UD Torre del Mar) as brand-building levers.

The firm traces its academic lineage to the Universidad de Málaga's Cátedra de Viabilidad Empresarial (Chair of Business Viability), and it has built a compliance offering around Spain's Ley 2/2023 whistleblower protection regime. Ownership is private with no external investors, and there are no disclosed funding rounds, acquisitions, or restructuring events beyond the founding merger.
