How to become a partner in large national firms| CincoDías
3 of July, 2024
CincoDías, in this article, analyses the criteria and requirements to become a partner in large national firms. Luis López was named a partner in the Litigation and Arbitration practice this year, after joining the firm almost seven years ago as an associate. After becoming a senior associate in January 2020, he completed a secondment in the United States at a leading global litigation and arbitration firm and, thanks to his experience and client portfolio, was promoted to partner of the firm.
In addition to this latest appointment, Ana Martínez-Pina in Banking and Finance and Constantino Pérez in Corporate were also promoted to partner.
According to CincoDías, the factors that influence this position in the leading firms are, among others, the lawyer’s speciality, his or her ability to generate business and internal competition. Although internal talent is prioritised, some firms also recruit externally as they expand into new markets.
In summary, access to partnership is influenced by a variety of factors and criteria, and promotions to partner are an important annual process in large firms.

CJEU clarifies conditions under which EU law may prohibit national tax exemptions
For the Grand Chamber of the CJEU, a tax exemption based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria and integrated into the logic of the legal system which it accompanies is inherent in the ‘normal’ tax regime and does not, in principle, confer a selective advantage. In such cases, the conditions for granting the exemption are neutral from the point of view of competition, as the fact that some undertakings satisfy those conditions, while others do not, is not relevant in the light of the rules on State aid.

Royal Decree 214/2025: obligation to calculate carbon footprints, draw up emission reduction plans and publicly disclose the same
Royal Decree 214/2025 does not create a new register, as its title suggests, but rather keeps and expands the one in place since 2014. What is truly new is the obligation imposed on specific companies and public bodies to calculate their carbon footprint and to draw up greenhouse gas emission reduction plans, as well as to publish the same. The royal decree’s succinct wording raises some questions of interpretation.

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.
