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!

Notarial enforcement of pledges. Is Article 1872 of the Civil Code mandatory? In what sense?
The clause agreed upon must comply, for greater certainty, with the provisions of the new judicial enforcement procedure. It will be necessary to agree on an appraised value, which is not required in Article 1872 CC, because otherwise the award would be similar to a ‘forfeiture proviso’ (pactum commissorium), which the Civil Code neutralised with the drastic imposition of extinguishment of the debt in its entirety.

Jurisdiction of national courts of States party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court in respect of actions relating to classic European patents during the transitional period
During the transitional period of the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, national courts retain jurisdiction to hear cases concerning classic European patents, without the need for the proprietor to have exercised the opt-out option, i.e. without the need to have excluded the jurisdiction of the Unified Patent Court over such patents. However, the Venice Court ruling discussed here considers that national courts may only be used if the opt-out has been exercised, contradicting the provisions of Article 83 of the Agreement.

Incompatibility between practising a healthcare profession and having a pecuniary interest in the manufacture or sale of medicinal products or medical devices
Royal Legislative Decree 1/2015, of 24 July, approving the recast version of the Medicinal Products and Medical Devices (Guarantees and Rational Use) Act, prohibits healthcare professionals with prescribing powers from having a direct pecuniary interest in activities related to medicines. This prohibition does not extend to indirect interests, as distinguished in Article 4 of said legislative decree. Judgment no. 483/2025 of the High Court of Justice of the Basque Country concludes that mere membership of a group of companies does not entail incompatibility if each entity retains real autonomy.
