Lexwell Legal

What Lexwell Legal does

Lexwell Legal is a Franco-Spanish law firm operating as an AARPI (Association d'Avocats à Responsabilité Individuelle), a French legal partnership structure composed of three entities: PGK-LEXWELL S.L.P. and JMNA LAWYERS S.L.P., both registered in Barcelona, and JMN SAS, registered in France. The firm advises businesses and investors on cross-border legal matters between France and Spain, practicing French, Spanish, European, and international law, and extending into OHADA and common law jurisdictions through one partner's Solicitor qualification in England and Wales. Its core service lines cover cross-border M&A, fundraising and joint ventures, international commercial contracts, international arbitration, Spanish real estate law, international tax structuring, French and Spanish employment law, corporate law, and commercial litigation.

The firm is led by three partner-level lawyers — Émilie Poignon, Jean Michel Nogueroles Alberola, and Milena Gismondi Kalko — supported by occasional interns, with offices in Barcelona (headquarters), Paris, Le Cannet, and Nice. Services are delivered directly by partners through face-to-face consultations and video conferencing, billed on hourly or fixed-fee engagement terms. Lexwell pursues a relationship-led go-to-market built on referrals from professional networks including ICAB, the Paris and Nice Bar Associations, COCEF, and the CCI France-Espagne, supplemented by thought-leadership publishing, webinars, and conference participation on cross-border M&A and Franco-Spanish legal topics.

Lexwell Legal does not disclose revenue, has no external investors or funding rounds, and operates as a self-governed partnership of legal professionals with no proprietary technology platform. The firm positions its differentiators on dual-qualified legal talent, multilingual service delivery (French, Spanish, Catalan, English, Italian), and interdisciplinary collaboration with accounting and wealth management partners.
