Gómez-Acebo & Pombo recognised at the Global Pro Bono Awards 2021
21 October, 2021
The Global Pro Bono Awards ceremony took place yesterday, where the two projects presented by our Foundation, Online Gender-Based Violence and Primero H Socimi, were recognised in the prestigious awards of PILnet (Public Interest Law Network), a global organisation of reference in the promotion of legal pro bono. These awards recognise projects from all over the world in which leading international law firms participate.
The Online Gender-Based Violence project has been awarded as the best project in the Local Pro Bono Impact category and thus becomes the first Spanish pro bono project to obtain this award.
Through this project, the Foundation together with the Law Firm, the Luz Casanova Foundation and the Carlos III University of Madrid, want to contribute to improving knowledge and legal assistance in gender-based violence by digital means among adolescents. To this end, a practical legal guide and an information leaflet for adolescents have been created and will be presented on 23 November at the Firm.
The project team was formed by Patricia Fita, Ana Higuera, Alejandra Martín, Marina Martín, Rafael Merino and Carmen Pombo (for the Foundation) and Carlos Álvarez, María Rosa Garrosa, Teresa Gutiérrez, Inés Fontes, Saray López, Inés Molina, María Flora Morillo-Velarde, Borja Ramos, Marta Robador, Inés Puig-Semper, Irene San Martín, Ralph Smith and Beatriz Vivar (for the Firm).
For its part, the Primero H Socimi project, which has been shortlisted, is a large pro bono collaboration project for the constitution of the first social SOCIMI in Spain, created by ASOCIMI and HogarSÍ, with the support of Andersen, our Firm and our Foundation.
The aim is to develop 177 homes in three years, mainly for homeless people.
On this occasion, the team was made up of Patricia Fita, Ana Higuera, Marina Martín, Rafael Merino and Carmen Pombo (for the Foundation) and Enrique Isla, Oliver Padilla, Jacobo Palanca, Augusto Piñel and Javier Vinuesa (for the Firm).
These awards, which enjoy great recognition worldwide, are a benchmark in the practice of pro bono, so this award is an honour for the Firm and the Foundation of which we are very proud.
Thank you very much to all of you for your commitment and collaboration in these initiatives that are so necessary for social progress.
CONGRATULATIONS!

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.

Joint interpretative instrument between Spain and Brazil on the classification of Brazilian juros
In this paper we address the controversy that the taxation of Brazilian interest has sparked both during the period when the recast version of the Corporate Income Tax Act was in force and since the Corporate Income Tax Act came into effect. Its possible classification, either as dividends or as interest, has been analysed on several occasions by Spanish courts and tax authority, the latter having recently agreed with its Brazilian counterpart to treat it as “interest” for the purposes of the Spain/Brazil Double Taxation Convention.
