Reverberations of INTA

It is extremely difficult to describe in just a few short lines the number and kind of the many different echoes of the Barcelona INTA Meeting resounding within the ELZABURU Firm, which celebrated its 150th anniversary less than two years ago. This was the first time ELZABURU has had the pleasure and the responsibility of organising a social event at INTA and thus also the first time all of us, who are part of the Firm, have endeavoured to bring together, host, and entertain so many friends, colleagues, and associates in our midst. That may be why we tried to offer them all something different, something special, something unforgettable this past 20th of May. We strust we succeeded.

Most importantly, the Barcelona INTA Meeting was also the first time our country has had the chance to host one of the largest and most far-reaching events in the intellectual property sector. What more could anyone ask?. All that remains is for us to express to the INTA Board our appreciation for the confidence it has placed in Spain; to one of our country's most emblematic cities, Barcelona, for its sunshine, its joie de vivre, its people, and its cosmopolitan vibes; and, last but not least, to all those who have been placing their confidence in the dependability, professional excellence, and forward thinking of the ELZABURU Firm.

Elzaburu once again ranked among Spain’s most highly reputed law firms

In 2015 the firm registered a turnover of over 14 million euros for yet another year.

Madrid, 1 June 2016. Elzaburu once again figures among the most prestigious law firms in Spain according to the ranking published annually by the economic and business daily Expansión. A turnover of 14 million euros positions it among the country’s 20 top rated firms.

At the same time the firm has pursued its enlargement plans, increasing the number of lawyers on its staff by 14.3%. Elzaburu is thus among the 25 firms headquartered in Spain which most strengthened their workforce in 2015.

Elzaburu ranks fourteenth in terms of invoicing per practitioner with a figure of 235,000 euros. This is significantly higher than the average in Spain, which in 2015 was 190,887 euros per practitioner. In terms of invoicing purely by lawyer, Elzaburu moves up to tenth place on the ranking.

Year on year, experience and professionalism have proved to be the twin pillars of the firm, ensuring Elzaburu a place among the best in Spain.

ELZABURU: 150 Years in 150 Words

At ELZABURU we do not look back, we forge ahead. We know that the blaze of the past lights up the future, and we believe that a Firm's professional identity is neither a blank page nor a page set in stone, but rather a page written day by day by the zeal and enthusiasm of its entire staff.

Here is our secret: cheer in our work, mutual regard, commitment to a common cause. In seeking the best solutions for our clients, we like to think that we see things no-one else has seen in the things everyone sees. Still, we know that it is a very fine line dividing self-confidence from arrogance. Humility is the better part of greatness!

I won't be here to say it in 150 years. So I'll say it now: it is an honour to head this Firm, it is an honour to strive for our clients.
