Abanlex

Abanlex’s lawyers specialise in resolving especially complex technology law cases, often helping to define legal frameworks where clarity is lacking. In this regard, the firm has made major contributions in the area of privacy (favourable ruling by the CJEU in the “Right to be Forgotten” case vs. Google), crypto currencies (mentioned by the USA Government’s Library in its report on the international regulation of bitcoins), cookies (first ruling on website cookies in Spain), intellectual property (advice to companies and public copyright collecting agencies) and Internet law (ensuring the legal compliance of some of the top websites in Spain), showing that the firm is at the cutting edge of the latest innovations. Everyone at the firm devotes at least 20% of their working time to studying and researching new business models in the technology sector and the legislation applicable to them. The result of this work is publicly shared in publications and articles in the top specialist journals and websites. Abanlex also assists other law firms by providing a service in its specialist practice areas. Abanlex’s lawyers are leaders in the Spanish startups market. They are involved in the processes of defining the business model, partners’ agreements, the incorporation and legal compliance of startups and also work with different accelerators and public institutions.
