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.

The European Court has responded to the questions raised by the Barcelona Court of Appeal in the sense of specifying the time limit applicable to the claim for mortgage expenses. 

When a company ceases to operate without following legal procedures, the consequences can be serious, especially for the administrator. This was recently confirmed by the Provincial Court of Murcia, which convicted an administrator of being liable with his personal assets for unpaid wages owed to two workers following the irregular closure of the company.

Have you made a job offer, the candidate has accepted it and even left their previous job... but in the end the contract has not been formalised?

Find out what the case law says and how to handle these cases safely from the payroll and personnel department.

Until 2015, legal entities (limited or public companies, political parties, associations, etc.) could not be subject to criminal liability. In other words, they could not be convicted for committing a crime. This changed with the reform of the Penal Code, which opened the door for certain crimes to be directly attributed to the legal entity, in addition to the natural person who committed the criminal act within the organization.

With the start of 2026, many companies are taking advantage of the moment to review strategies and make decisions that will shape their future.

Among these decisions, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) are no longer an option exclusively for large corporations, but have also become a lever for growth for small and medium-sized enterprises in the region seeking to consolidate their competitiveness.

Carrying out proper debt collection management is essential for all businesses. This is more evident in exceptional circumstances like the present, where cash flow is the focus of any company and managers and owners realize its importance for business survival. Often, this task becomes laborious for many of them, who have to deal with clients who fail to meet their payment commitments, leading to financial problems for their business. This can affect their growth, as sometimes they must resort to alternative financing sources to continue existing and, in the worst case, can be dragged to closure due to lack of liquidity. For this reason, it is very important that every company has a debt collection policy, implementing methodologies that allow it to be more effective and, consequently, avoid the serious problems that delinquency entails.
