AUGUSTA, Ga., 16 November 2023 — Viewed as the gold standard for legal rankings globally, Best Lawyers^® is pleased to announce the 16^th edition of The Best Lawyers in Spain™ and the 3^rd edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Spain™. Culminating in more than 5,000 lawyers being recognized within the two awards, these editions honor the professional accomplishments of the top legal talent in Spain.

The 2024 rankings are determined using Best Lawyers' established methodology, which draws on feedback from lawyers assessing professionalism, skill sets, and trustworthiness. This evaluation includes input from top lawyers in the same region and practice area, even those who may practice in opposition during mediations and court proceedings.

"As we unveil the 16^th edition of The Best Lawyers in Spain and the distinguished 3^rd edition of Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Spain, we proudly continue our commitment to recognizing legal excellence globally,” said Best Lawyers CEO Phillip Greer. “These accolades stand as a testament to the exceptional professional achievements and contributions of lawyers in Spain. We remain dedicated to our Purely Peer Review process, ensuring that these rankings are a true reflection of the respect and esteem earned among legal peers. Congratulations to all the outstanding lawyers who have earned a place in these prestigious editions, shaping the legal landscape in Spain."

The 16^th edition of The Best Lawyers in Spain also includes “Law Firm of the Year” awards, which are specific to a country and practice area, and they are factored by lawyer feedback and case matters as well as firm size, scope and coverage. 19 “Law Firm of the Year” recognitions were bestowed to 17 firms. Law firms Uría Menéndez Abogados, S.L.P. and Cuatrecasas, S.L.P. were awarded multiple “Law Firm of the Year” accolades this year.

Another specialty distinction presented in this release is “Lawyer of the Year” commendations, which were awarded to 196 individuals. This highly coveted represents the pinnacle of excellence, honoring only one lawyer per practice area in each region with the highest overall feedback from their peers.

Using the same transparent methodology and survey process that has made Best Lawyers the gold standard for legal rankings worldwide, Best Lawyers honors lawyers earlier in their careers via the Best Lawyers: Ones to Watch in Spain awards. In the 3^rd edition, 795 lawyers were selected by their peers to be included and commended for their outstanding legal talent across 37 practice areas.
