What UNAES - Unión de Abogados Especialistas does

UNAES Plataforma Digital, S.L., trading as UNAES – Unión de Abogados Especialistas, is a Spanish digital legal marketplace founded in 2016 and headquartered in Alicante. The company operates an online directory that connects individuals and families seeking legal representation with officially registered (colegiado) specialist lawyers across Spain. The directory is organized by judicial district and by more than 30 legal specialties, including family, criminal, labor, commercial, urban planning, immigration, tax, sports, digital, and military law, and supports multiple consultation modalities — in-person, telephone, written/email, and scheduled video calls. UNAES differentiates by enforcing a specialization standard (rather than generalist practice) and by not charging commissions on client referrals.

The platform's revenue model is subscription/membership based: lawyers pay to join the network, while end-users contact lawyers directly with no intermediation cost. Beyond the consumer-facing search tool, UNAES operates a professional networking layer (UNAES Network) that enables member lawyers to refer clients, share information, and develop cross-regional business. The firm also runs sub-brands for premium lawyer tiers (UNAES Abogacía Pro, UNAES 35) and for judicial procurators (UNAES Procura Pro), and curates a network of high-value-added suppliers (insurance, e-signature, legal publishing, translation, web marketing, etc.) for legal professionals.

Strategically, UNAES maintains a core alliance with the Asociación Española de Derecho Deportivo (AEDD) and a set of technology integrations including JUICIATOR (legal management software), ATOMIAN (cognitive-computing AI), and YOUFORGET.ME (digital privacy). With approximately 10 employees, no disclosed external funding, and no public revenue figures, UNAES is a small, privately held single-country operator that received the Premio Nacional de Ley Eloy Ruiloba Alvarino in 2021.
