TERRAQUI

What TERRAQUI does

TERRAQUI (legal name: Estudi Jurídic Ambient, S.L.P.) is a Barcelona-based Spanish law firm founded in 1996 that specializes exclusively in environmental law. The firm is organized as a Sociedad Limitada Profesional (S.L.P.) under Spanish law and operates with a 7-employee team from a single office on Diagonal 527 in Barcelona. Its client base comprises private companies and public administrations requiring counsel on environmental regulatory compliance, representation in administrative and judicial proceedings, and participation in environmental norm development.

The firm's service offering is structured around three interconnected pillars: legal advisory for environmental management, defense in administrative and judicial environmental proceedings, and regulatory knowledge generation. Coverage spans eight practice areas: climate change and energy transition, biodiversity and ecosystems, water protection and management, circular economy and waste management, sustainable activities, sustainable consumption and products, land use and urban planning, and pollution and environmental damage. The firm also maintains a subscription newsletter (Boletín de Actualidad sobre Derecho Ambiental) and publishes ongoing regulatory analyses on its website, covering both Spanish autonomous community legislation and EU-level regulations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR).

The business model is professional services-based: Terraqui generates revenue through fee-based legal advisory engagements, with pricing structured around case complexity, scope, and client requirements (no publicly disclosed rates). Distribution is direct, with no channel partners, and go-to-market is sales-led, relying on professional networking (LinkedIn), thought-leadership content, and the newsletter subscription funnel to attract clients. There are no funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors disclosed; the firm is independently held with no parent company.
