Metricson

What Metricson does

Metricson is a Valencia, Spain-based boutique law firm (legal entity Metricson S.L.P.U., founded 2011) specializing in legal services for technology companies, startups, and venture capital funds. The firm operates from a single headquarters at Paseo de Ruzafa 11 in central Valencia and offers a portfolio of specialized practice areas: Corporate and M&A, Private Equity & Venture Capital with vertical due diligence (Financial, Tech, ESG/Impact, AI+IP), Privacy/GDPR, Intellectual and Industrial Property, Compliance (criminal compliance programs), Tax Law, Insolvency and Litigation, International expansion advisory, and support to in-house legal teams. Its public client wall lists more than 30 logos from the technology and digital ecosystem, including Wayra (Telefonica), OLX, eDreams, Idealista, Rakuten, Chartboost, and Appodeal, alongside earlier-stage startups such as Roiward, Yaba, Nuela, and Letgo. International reach is delivered through the Firm Friends legal network spanning more than 20 countries rather than through owned foreign offices.

The firm monetizes via two pricing structures: a monthly retainer ("cuota de servicios legales") providing comprehensive legal coverage with predictable costs and optional add-ons (risk analysis, due diligence, DPO, accounting/tax/labor advisory, internationalization), and project-based fees for discrete engagements such as financing rounds, due diligence reports, and corporate restructurings. Its go-to-market combines direct website contact, referrals from strategic ecosystem partners (notably Seedrocket, with whom it has collaborated for more than 10 years, and the Wayra corporate venture capital arm of Telefonica), content marketing via a regularly updated blog and LegalNews newsletter, and active participation in Firm Friends international network events. There is no evidence of external funding, parent company ownership, or public listing; the firm operates as a privately held professional partnership.

In June 2026, Metricson launched a dedicated AI and Trade Secrets Practice that integrates AI governance advisory with trade secret protection for tech companies operating under the new European regulatory framework, including the EU AI Act. The firm's core technology footprint is limited to standard business tools (WordPress, ActiveCampaign, Google Analytics, reCAPTCHA, Google Fonts), and the website also discloses participation in the ICEX-Next export initiation program with FEDER co-financing. Competitive positioning is built on deep vertical specialization in technology and startup law, multi-year embedded client relationships, an international referral network, and transparent retainer pricing uncommon in traditional Spanish law firms.
