You to Tax and me to Labour: this is how elite law firms plan the first year of their juniors | El Confidencial
2 October, 2023
El Confidencial has published an article on the planning of juniors during their first year in elite law firms. Top law firms debate whether to rotate young lawyers through different teams before deciding on their definitive placement or to focus them on a speciality from the outset.
At Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, in addition to having tutors and evaluations, juniors have to present a case study in groups, which is evaluated by a committee made up of different partners of the Firm. “Once all the groups have finished, we celebrate the traditional lunch in the centre of Madrid, something very authentic and which is already part of the firm’s history”, reveals our HR director, Cristina Santos.

Public policy considerations in the recognition of foreign arbitral awards settling consumer disputes
Judicial review may extend to the substantive invalidity of the arbitration agreement because it conflicts with mandatory domestic rules — as well as those of the European Union — on consumer protection and, consequently, the concept of public policy encompasses both procedural and substantive public policy.
