Cristina Santos “Así piensan los abogados y juristas del futuro” | El Confidencial
1 March, 2022
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.
