GA_P in the #TOP5 of law firms on LinkedIn
13 April, 2021
LinkedIn is the preferred social network for law firms, for several reasons, among them, its “markedly professional character and its moderate tone”, which makes it a comfortable scenario where firms and lawyers can develop and perform an informative as well as corporate work of their day to day. “With 740 million users worldwide, of which 13 million are in Spain, it is not surprising that LinkedIn represents an opportunity and a ‘must’ within most communication strategies of law firms.
In words of Sandra Cuesta Llerandi, Head of Business Development, Marketing and Communication at Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, LinkedIn is nothing more than “a very useful tool to support internal communication, to keep the entire firm informed and to transmit the corporate spirit to those who are at a distance”, since in her case, the content published by the Firm is mostly press appearances, operations, business and pro bono initiatives, as well as academic publications, giving special importance to the format, design and image with which they launch their communications. “We try to keep our content as dynamic as we are able, avoiding rigid designs, in order to keeup up the attention and differentiate ourselves from other firms,” Sandra emphasizes.

The Court of Justice of the European Union clarifies the impact on VAT of intra-group transfer pricing adjustments
The Court of Justice, in the Stellantis Portugal case, confirms that a transfer pricing adjustment intended to ensure a specific profit margin, even if certain repair or warranty costs are partially taken into account in its calculation, does not necessarily lead to the conclusion that there is an independent supply of services subject to value-added tax. The determining factors are the existence of a legal relationship involving reciprocal consideration and a direct link between the identifiable service and the consideration received.

Unanimous shareholders' agreements and dividends in specie
The Supreme Court and the Madrid Provincial Court, following established legal doctrine, have reiterated that a party to a unanimous shareholders’ agreement acts in bad faith if he or she challenges a company resolution passed in compliance with said shareholders’ agreement. In this case, the shareholders’ agreement provided for the possibility of paying dividends in kind, and the contested resolution — which was passed by a majority at the shareholders’ meeting — transferred certain real estate properties to one of the shareholders (with his consent) in payment of the dividend due to him.

NGT plant patenting: betwixt and between regulatory continuity and expectations
The evolution of the concept of genetically modified organisms in the European Union in light of new genomic techniques (NGTs) is examined, along with the regulatory response that introduces a distinction between two categories of NGT plants, making the regime more flexible for those that can be considered equivalent to conventional plants. It also highlights that the institutional agreement reflected in the Council’s position represents a significant shift from the case law of the Court of Justice. Regarding patents, it highlights the absence of substantial changes, opting instead for a cautious approach based on transparency, monitoring, and possible future intervention.

Voluntary takeover bids and squeeze-outs
The Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (Fifth Chamber) of 13 May 2026 (Korfin and Sempiola v Slovnaft, Case C-225/25) clarifies the concept of a takeover bid for the purposes of Article 2 of the 2004 Takeover Bids Directive, such that an offer made to the holders of securities of a company with a view to acquiring all or some of those securities does not fall within the concept of a takeover bid where it is made by an offeror who already controls the offeree company. Consequently, based on that court’s interpretation of the Directive’s provisions, there is no right of squeeze-out in such voluntary takeover bids.

Severance pay is a claim against the insolvent estate - not an insolvency claim - if a pre-opening-of-insolvency-proceedings dismissal is ruled unfair post hoc
Notwithstanding a dismissal occurring before the opening of insolvency proceedings, if a court finding of unfairness and an employer decision to make a severance payment occur after, the dismissed employee’s claim must be deemed against the insolvent estate, even if the parties had reached a settlement, if such was reached also after.
