Law firms’ predictions for the coming year | CincoDías
According to the managing partners of Spain’s leading law firms, inflation, rising interest rates and the geopolitical crisis are the three vectors that will shape the Spanish economy in 2023.

There may be fewer operations, greater price pressure and an increase in costs. In this context we can also expect an increase in litigation. Inflation affects our clients, particularly in some sectors, which may affect the type of work they demand from us“.57

Limits of the Unified Patent Court's long arm with regard to Spain (II): the controversial judgment of the Court of Justice in the BSH/Electrolux case
This document sets out and criticises the doctrine established by the CJEU in its Judgment of 25 February 2025, C-339/22, BSH/Electrolux, ECLI:EU:C:2025:108. Although the dispute underlying the judgment was not brought before the UPC, the interpretation of the CJEU in the BSH/Electrolux judgment is equally applicable, since said court is equivalent to the national courts of the contracting states party to the UPC Agreement.
