Our specialisms include advising on commercial, corporate, EU and competition, intellectual property, dispute resolution, employment, finance and real estate matters.

The key to our success is our constantly evolving sector-focused approach. Our clients build their businesses on technology and intangible assets, and operate in regulated markets. To better meet their needs we have developed deep industry understanding of key sectors, including automotive, aviation & defence, energy & utilities, financial services, life sciences & healthcare, retail & consumer, media, entertainment & sport and tech & comms.

From its very start, the Madrid office has firmly positioned itself among the leading commercial law firms operating in Spain, with deep client and industry sector knowledge and consistent high quality in all its practices.

In conjunction with other offices, the firm’s presence in Madrid has helped secure Bird & Bird’s European coverage for these key sectors. The core team of Bird & Bird Madrid offers a full service in the same tradition as that offered in Bird & Bird’s other offices around the world.

The Madrid office is also a business hub of the Iberian Peninsula and gateway to South America, that allows us to offer even wider international service to our clients.
