New Models for Legal Practice
Lupicinio International Law Firm, founded in 1980 with main offices in Madrid and Barcelona and numerous ad hoc worldwide collaborators (“clustees”), is now evolving under innovative and disruptive criteria led by our second generation. We are open to cooperation with other Spanish or foreign firms under an objective reciprocity model.
The legal world has long operated with successful cooperative, non-colonial models that benefit all stakeholders without compromising service quality. Our approach, which emulates the British chambers model of barristers, is continually evolving. British chambers house sophisticated specialists who seamlessly combine branding and independence with constructive cooperation.

Clust Chambers, unlike most Anglo-American global firms, has no “metropolitan” central management but it has perfectly centred and coordinated gearing. Our unique model saves on the immense transactional costs and complexities of metropolitan centralisation.

Clust Chambers: A Lupicinio Innovation
Our Clust Chambers model, an evolution of the traditional chambers model, preserves what lawyers value most: independence, client relationships, and functional autonomy, while offering protection from global champions, auditors, and low-cost second-tier brands of certain national champions. Lupicinio provides a pathway for non-global legal practices to thrive.
We recognize that while some boutiques will succeed competitively, others may struggle in their current format. Therefore, we believe that dialogue on the cluster-chambers model can be particularly beneficial for specialized boutiques offering added value.
Our innovative, efficient, and client-focused legal model has already proven its effectiveness. Lupicinio implements international projects with multifunctional teams, where Cluster members perform rigorous, quality-oriented, and cost-effective work under the Lupicinio Cluster brand. Additionally, Lupicinio now promotes a Schumacherian structure: Clust Chambers.
In order to keep up to date with all the latest developments in the legal world, Clust Lupicinio issues legislative and jurisprudential alerts, or urgent reflections, both in the form of notices and in the form of in-depth newsletters.
