How to become a partner in large national firms| CincoDías
3 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.

Supreme Court rules on ‘administrative silence’ in the electricity sector: “public service” or “service of general economic interest”
The Supreme Court judgment of 10 April 2026 characterises the concept of public service under Article 24(1) of Act 39/2015 as an exception to the ‘double silence’ rule, distinguishing it from the concept of service of general economic interest, which applies in liberalized sectors such as that of electricity supply. The Supreme Court thus concludes that in seeking an authorisation to close a combined-cycle power plant, the ‘double silence’ rule applies to the effect of a presumption of approval.

Limitation of a patent and the Unified Patent Court’s ‘long arm’
We analyse the problems that arise when a claim is filed with the UPC for infringement of a unitary patent and, at the same time, for infringement of the validation of the basic European patent in States that are not party to the Agreement on a Unified Patent Court, and the claimant solely limits the unitary patent (because the defendant only files a counterclaim for revocation of the unitary patent with said court, but does not initiate any parallel revocation proceedings with the competent national court against the validations of the basic European patent in States that are not party to said agreement).

The new obligation to supply medicines at the request of Member States: analysis of Article56a of the Medicines Directive
Article 56a of the European Union’s new Medicines Directive introduces a mechanism that allows Member States to require marketing authorisation holders to supply authorised medicines within their territory to meet the needs of their patients. In the event of non-compliance three years after the request, the holder may lose market protection in that Member State, thereby allowing the entry of generic and biosimilar medicines. However, exceptions are provided for in cases of exceptional and unforeseeable circumstances beyond the holder’s control, as well as safeguards to prevent the loss of protection in one Member State from being used to circumvent the system in other protected markets.

Do purchasers of apartments and premises take on, by way of subrogation, planning obligations arising from a land readjustment procedure?
Whether or not the purchasers of residential apartments and commercial premises take on, by way of subrogation, the planning obligations arising from a land readjustment procedure, has always been a conundrum on account of the economic and social impact that an affirmative answer would have on the end recipients of housing. The Supreme Court has yet to rule on this matter.
