The firm operates across twelve practice areas: Business Law, Company Law, Energy Law, Insolvency Law, IT Law, Labour Law, Litigation, Mergers & Acquisitions, Public Procurement, Real Estate Law, Tax Law, and Banking & Finance Law (covering consumer credit, fintech, and MiCA cryptoasset regulation).

The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no public-facing API, and no software products; service delivery is partner-led and bespoke.

The business model is professional services: engagement-based legal advisory with fees tailored to each client's needs and complexity, structured around partner and associate billable time. The go-to-market is sales-led, targeting international companies seeking Spanish market entry, supported by content marketing through an active publications and media-mentions platform, multilingual SEO presence across .com, .eu, .de, and .es domains, and professional network referrals.
