Helping startups develop and overcome legal hurdles every step of the way

Over the past years, Spain has become a hub for innovation, in which entrepreneurs have found a vibrant ecosystem of investors and specialised advisors to help develop their ideas and support their growth into strong Series A candidates. This has led to the creation of a number of successful startups in areas ranging from FinTech, Big Data, social media, clean energy, e-logistics, among others, which, start up in Spain and later seek international expansion.
