Cristina Santos “Así piensan los abogados y juristas del futuro” | El Confidencial
Cristina Santos: study by El Confidencial and El Observatorio ‘Así piensan los abogados y juristas del futuro’, a survey that reflects the opinion of students on large law firms, competitive examinations or joining a law firm.
“The main challenge currently facing national law firms, such as Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, is to be able to convey to candidates that being part of a national firm does not mean that they cannot have an international experience, which is so highly valued by students completing their training. Moreover, the fact that we work at the firm’s headquarters, at the epicentre of decision-making, allows us greater flexibility to offer attractive careers and opportunities to our professionals. On the other hand, being a national law firm so well established in the market gives us many advantages in terms of positioning and the information candidates may know about us beforehand.

The application of the rule of precedence requires, firstly, that a given product falls within the legal definition of a medicinal product, whether it is a medicinal product by function or by presentation, and secondly, that there are doubts as to whether it also falls within the legal concept of other types of products (food supplements, cosmetics, etc.).

Danish cases in Spain: Beneficial owner requirement not applicable to the non-resident income tax exemption of interest payments to EU residents
Contrary to the stance taken by the Audiencia Nacional, the Valencia High Court of Justice takes the view that the exemption of interest payments to European Union residents should be applied in accordance with the terms that the national legislature has chosen to keep, without the additional requirements of Directive 2003/49/EC. If abusive practices are found to exist, tax regularisation must be carried out by resorting to one of the general anti-abuse clauses provided for in the Taxation Act.

Payment service providers’ rectification of unauthorised or incorrectly executed payment transactions: user obligations
The Court of Justice of the European Union (Fourth Chamber), in its judgment of 1 August 2025, case C-665/23, IL v. Veracash SAS, concludes that a payer is deprived of the right to reimbursement of the amount of an unauthorised transaction if he or she delayed in notifying his or her payment service provider of the unauthorised payment transaction, even though he or she did so within 13 months from the debit date. This interpretation of the Payment Services Directive is applicable in Spain (Art. 43 RDL 19/2018) and appears to be retained in the future Regulation on payment services.
