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.

CJEU requires actual neutralisation of tax discrimination against non-resident collective investment schemes or, where there is tax transparency, against their unitholders
The Court of Justice of the European Union has ruled in response to the Supreme Court that imposing a heavier tax burden on U.S. regulated investment companies than on resident collective investment schemes constitutes a restriction on the free movement of capital. Although such a restriction may be neutralised by the applicable double taxation treaty, that neutralisation must not be a merely theoretical possibility but must actually and fully be implemented, including with respect to the unitholders.
