At rēgula, we understand pro bono legal advice as an inherent responsibility of professional practice. This work is grounded in the conviction that our expertise can make a rigorous and effective contribution to the public interest and to improving access to justice. We take this commitment seriously, carefully selecting the projects in which we participate with the aim of ensuring that our work has a genuine legal impact -not merely symbolic- in areas where we have solid experience and can deliver real added value.
We focus on competition law, economic regulation, EU law, and public international law, including human rights, as well as administrative and civil litigation in these fields. We advise patient associations, collective interest platforms, third-sector organizations, and citizens’ groups with significant economic impact, particularly in sectors such as healthcare, energy, financial services, and digital markets. Our work seeks to ensure that these actors can exercise their rights on terms comparable to other market participants, overcoming informational, technical, and procedural barriers that hinder effective access to justice.
Our experience includes preparing legal reports, representing clients before administrative authorities and courts, supporting the structuring of collective actions with an economic and regulatory dimension, and designing procedural strategies with a structural scope. We have also participated in regulatory processes, both national and European, where we have been asked to advise on the legal impact of proposed reforms.
rēgula’s added value in the pro bono sphere lies in applying the same technical standards, procedural rigor, and strategic focus as in professional engagements. For us, there is no difference between a pro bono case and any other, which is why our selection of pro bono matters is exacting. This approach enables us to take on complex cases involving major legal issues of substantial economic significance, requiring an informed, technically robust, and well-structured defense. Our work is not driven by voluntarism or generic approaches, and still less by the mere pursuit of visibility. It is firmly rooted in the experience our team has accumulated in administrative proceedings, judicial review, strategic civil actions, and collective litigation.
Our boutique model allows for agile assessment and a sustainable commitment to pro bono projects. The selection criteria are not based on the simplicity or visibility of the case, but on its connection with our fields of expertise and its potential to achieve a concrete and meaningful legal outcome for the beneficiary. We do not act for abstract causes, but only where our involvement can tangibly alter the client’s legal position.
This practice integrates naturally with the firm’s other areas. Many of the matters we undertake in this context are connected to structural competition problems in regulated sectors, collective damages claims, and the defense of fundamental rights with an economic dimension. Our distinctive litigation approach, combined with our technical knowledge of the sectors involved, allows us to handle these matters with authority and real impact.
