The Best Law Firms - Spain accolades, revealed on May 29, 2025, recognize the top 1% of firms in the legal market, highlighting their noteworthy professional achievements. This distinction underscores the prestige and exclusivity of our awards in the country.
With 18 years of experience recognizing leading individual lawyers in Spain and 16 years of honoring top firms in the United States, we are honored to present the inaugural Best Law Firms awards in Spain. Our comprehensive research process and market expertise ensure these rankings provide clients with valuable guidance when selecting firms to meet their legal needs.
Highlights
Our research begins by assessing firms within their practice areas and benchmarking them against local competitors across their respective regions. For Spain, we examined 55 practice areas and 22 geographic jurisdictions: A Coruña, Algeciras, Asturias, Badajoz, Barcelona, Bilbao, Burgos, Cáceres, Córdoba, Islas Canarias, León, Madrid, Málaga, Marbella, Murcia, Palma de Mallorca, Pamplona, Sevilla, Valencia, Valladolid, Vigo and Zaragoza. Based on our localized research, we awarded 4,192 regional rankings.
After determining the regional awards, we evaluated firms with a national presence across 25 practice areas. Among the eligible firms in Spain, 345 are recognized for their national reach, serving clients in various locations. In addition, we have selected the winners of the "Law Firm of the Year" designations, honoring one firm per practice area for their professional performance. Fifteen firms in 20 national practice areas have been awarded this honor.
