When we buy a property, we usually take great care to ensure it is registered in our name. Similarly, we should attach the same importance to registering a trademark.

First of all, let's clarify a point that is often misunderstood: a trademark is not "patented", but "registered". Although both trademarks and patents are part of Industrial Property, they are not the same and should not be confused.

Royal Decree-Law 5/2023 of June 28 has introduced significant changes in the area of labor leave, expanding the rights of reconciliation and ensuring equality of treatment and opportunities between men and women at work. These updates have been the necessary response to the European Directive 2019/1158, which aims to balance the family and professional life of parents and caregivers.

There are many reasons why it's good to make a will. The first one is that it is a document that can be changed throughout life as many times as desired; it is simple and has an affordable cost. On the other hand, it has great importance, as it avoids numerous problems in the future and offers peace of mind for family members and heirs. It is the simplest and cheapest option for a person to orderly transfer their assets to their heirs.

Yes, debts are not for life; debts can be canceled, and a fresh start can be made.

The second chance has been in force since 2013 for individual entrepreneurs and since 2015 for any non-entrepreneurial individual. It may not be, from a technical point of view, and in my opinion, the best possible second chance law, but it is a law that allows for the exoneration of debts, and that is what is important. The law must be useful and functional, and for this reason, it must be utilized so that thousands of over-indebted, insolvent individuals can achieve the exoneration of their debts and start again as active members of society.

At Grup Carles we consolidate the area of ​​Mergers and Acquisitions and become co-founders of IBER CF, a new international network of corporate finance, audit and legal advice.

There are few legal terms as casually used as these two. Not surprisingly, they are often incorporated as "almost-standard" clauses in thousands of sales contracts, without realizing the legal and economic consequences that the inclusion of one term or the other may entail for the signatories.

When initiating an economic activity, one of the aspects to consider is the most appropriate legal form for the activity we intend to carry out. If ours is a shared project, and we want the people involved to be able to vote and decide on the decisions taken, based on the principle of one person, one vote, then the most fitting formula is likely to be a cooperative. Cooperativism is the social economy formula with the most weight and tradition in Catalunya. As of December 2021, there were a total of 4,521 cooperatives in Catalunya, employing 45,417 people, with a combined turnover of 4.5 million euros.

Recently at Grup Carles, we renewed the Seal Aquí Assessorem l’Economia Social (Here We Advise the Social Economy), which certifies that we have undergone specific training in the social and solidarity economy. This training allows us to achieve fiscal, labor, and legal specialization in the cooperative model and certifies that we know, work with, and are networked with the cooperative movement and public administrations.
