Firm Overview:

AFIENS has become one of Spain's leading Alternative LegalService Providers (ALSP), combining a high level of technical legal expertise with the necessary innovation and technological developments to provide efficient solutions for Legal Process Outsourcing (LPO), helping to create value, reducing internal legal assistance costs, and improving delivery times.

Its Core Business is focused on providing Company Secretarial Services, complying with the commercial obligations of all kinds of entities. This service includes a company’s day-to-day legal needs, throughout its life cycle, from the moment it is founded until liquidation.

The founder strongly believed that the way to provide services in other professional services firms should be transferred to some of the services belonging to legal sector, applying the methodology of project and processes management and the most adequate technology.

While she appreciated how high-level law firms in Spain were engaged in higher-duty and more specialised tasks, she felt that there was a need in the Spanish market for taking care of legal tasks.

This was necessary in order to provide an efficient solution to have all corporate legal obligations under control at a more affordable price. That is why, as time went on, it not only considered that every company should have adequate control of its corporate records and corporate documentation but also other obligations that law firms were not offering to their clients at the time, such as data protection and money laundering prevention.

It has earned us recognition from the renowned Chambers & Partners directory in the 2023 Edition as Band 1 Alternative Legal Services Firm in Spain, and also selected by Expansión Jurídico as one of the best legal boutiques in the legal world, during two consecutive years (2022 and 2023).

AFIENS counts with deep experience in providing services of Corporate Secretariat, Regulatory compliance (GDPR and AML), Real Estate management, Contract Management, Labour Law and Tax Law as well other range of ALSP services, that are currently being provided to multinational clients, with needs in Spain.

AFIENS team is leaded by Lawyers admitted in Madrid Bar Association and accredited as Legal Project Practitioners by the International Institute of Legal Project Management.

AFIENS´ focus was on innovation from the moment the Company was created, and that is what has allowed to better understand the clients’ needs and invest in the most suitable technology for its services.

AFIENS has managed to create a Collaborative Platform by combining different technologies into one so as to offer a kind of ONE STOP SHOP for all legal and paralegal needs. This also means that this solution is able to reduce delivery times, mitigate errors and offer greater quality and transparency in our services.
