InspiraLaw 2025

Iberian Lawyer held its InspiraLaw “Diversity & Inclusion” night 2025, with an outstanding participation of the Spanish and Portuguese legal market.

One more year and for the ninth consecutive time, 50 women in the Spanish and Portuguese legal profession were recognized. The Westin Palace Hotel in Madrid brought together important personalities from the in-house world and the private sector.

Iberian Lawyer selected the list of winners, announced in the March issue, after receiving hundreds of nominations. The list includes, in the 2025 edition, women who have stood out, inspiring colleagues and clients. Also, women who have spearheaded disruptive initiatives focused on diversity and inclusion.

The gala opened with a welcome message from Aldo Scaringella, CEO of LC Publishing Group, followed by a speech from Ilaria Iaquinta, editor in chief of Iberian Lawyer. As a new feature this year, four of the honored women delivered an InspiraTalk—an inspirational speech sharing their experiences and the challenges they have faced along the way.
