GA_P advises Homerun Technologies OY on the acquisition of Spanish company Urban Share
22 September, 2021
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Homerun Technologies OY (KODIT.IO) on the acquisition of 100% of the Spanish company URBAN SHARE, S.L. (“HOLA LUCAS”), a leading rental housing platform. Homerun (KODIT) is a Finnish multinational company specialised in activating fast real estate sales (iBuyer).
Finland’s Kodit.io, powered by artificial intelligence, helps sellers receive instant cash offers for their property. Its main goal is to help more people buy home ownership and improve the experience digitally.
On the other hand, Spain’s Urban Share specialises in rent to buy through a technological model, so that a young buyer can access a home by contributing only 5% of its value, when the current mortgage market requires the payment of more than 20% of the total value.
The GA_P team was formed by Pablo Fernández Cortijo and Rocío García de Oteyza, partner and associate in the Corporate area, and Ignacio del Fraile, partner of the Labour area.

Contractual termination by mutual abandonment not claimed by any party?
The risks of applying the doctrine according to which a contract is deemed withdrawn from if neither party to the same appears to want it. Not only is this solution likely to be inconsistent with the parties' claims, but it also wrongly rules out other civil law options the parties could pursue upon dismissal of the action for declaration of termination.

The use of personal data to train artificial intelligence systems
The judgment of the Regional High Court (Oberlandesgericht) of Cologne of 23 May 2025 (15 UKl 2/25), in which the German court rejects the application for interim relief prohibiting the defendant from processing personal data published by consumers on Facebook and Instagram for the development and improvement of artificial intelligence systems, is analysed.

Key points on ‘reasonable adjustments’ due to worker incapacity
The declaration of the worker's incapacity does not automatically terminate the contract, unless the worker expresses his or her wish not to continue working. But permanent absolute incapacity and severe incapacity are incompatible with work. For the rest, the worker has (an extinguishment?) period of ten days to decide and the employer has (an extinguishment?) period of thirty days to decide. Companies with less than 25 employees can assess when the obligation is an excessive burden, but the rest is left to numerous factors, not always objectively measurable. The company must provide a suitable offer without knowing what this suitability depends on.

Offsetting employment claims: can a company offset them unilaterally?
If a collective action is brought to challenge the unilateral conduct of a company in the offsetting of salary claims through a payroll deduction, the amount of the debt and the existence of quantitative discrepancies must necessarily be questioned in order to be able to assess whether or not there is legal offsetting on the part of the employer. Only by admitting that the debt is a liquidated amount that is due and payable will the employer - or the employee, as the case may be - be able to offset the debt, but if the debt is not disputed, the way is open for the offsetting of wage claims.

Company resolutions reached with invalid votes
Although Article 204(3)(d) places them on the same level, the erroneous counting of votes and the counting of invalid votes are very different, given that the latter requires judicial balancing.

Permanent incapacity, except if employee decides otherwise or if an excessive burden on employer, no longer triggers termination of contract
The obligation to accommodate the workplace for persons with a permanent incapacity has come to the fore with such incapacity no longer constituting an automatic termination-of-employment-contract event. Now, unless the employee intends otherwise, the employer has three months to make necessary adjustments or to offer a suitable vacant post, and a failure to do so that is not justified on the grounds of excessive burden means not only a breach of law with all its consequences, but also the continuation of the employer/employee relationship with all its consequences.
