Furthermore, RCD has been represented by 22 individual mentions recognizing the firm’s professionals.

Accordingly, RCD has achieved eight recognized legal practices in the UK Guide (Corporate & M&A, Insolvency, Tax, Employment, Intellectual and Industrial Property, Dispute Resolution, Public and Urban Planning) and five recognized sector practices (Energy, Life Sciences, Private Equity, Venture Capital and Insurance). In the Barcelona section of the Europe Guide, the firm has also been recommended in all the practices analyzed by Chambers (Commercial, Tax, Dispute Resolution, Employment and Insolvency).

As in previous years, the firm has been distinguished amongst the main advisers in the sector, positioning itself as one of the best firms in the Spanish legal market.

Specifically, the firm has promoted its positioning in this international directory by achieving recognitions in 12 legal and/or sector practices.
