Equality
«Seal of Good Practice in Gender Equality in the Practice of Law»
We respect personal dignity and are committed to ensuring that there are no situations of discrimination of any kind, embracing the diversity inherent in our society. We defend the absence of discrimination, direct or indirect, on the grounds of sex and, especially those derived from maternity, paternity, the assumption of family obligations, marital status and working conditions. We eliminate all possible manifestations of discrimination in internal promotion and selection processes. For all these reasons, the Madrid Bar Association has awarded the firm the “seal of good practice in equality between men and women in the practice of law”. .
Partnership
We encourage sociability.
We try to put ourselves in the other person’s shoes to help them in both professional and personal situations. We recognize the work of others and receive signs that our own work is also valued. The people who are part of this common project “give each other a hand”. We share our knowledge, learn from each other, talk to each other, encourage each other in difficult moments and solve problems in a friendly way. We believe that a good working environment helps to generate the best ideas and we work to achieve this.
