Expansión highlighted the healthy state of the Spanish legal industry, which experienced growth of 13% in the last year (four times that of the Spanish economy), stating that, “law firms have known how to make the most of the Spanish economic boom and movements by Spanish companies abroad”. The high number of takeover bids and venture capital transactions are among the underlying factors behind these good results.

Expansión also pointed to a significant fact which sets Spain apart from other European countries: Spanish firms continue their clear dominance of the Spanish market, a somewhat unusual occurrence in neighboring countries.
