Pérez-Llorca and Fundación MAPFRE present first legal work on Third Sector to increase social impact

A team of 20 lawyers from Pérez-Llorca has collaborated on the book Aproximación Jurídica al Tercer Sector, which offers a practical overview of the legal issues relevant to non-profit organisations. The publication addresses issues such as taxation, data protection and the prevention of money laundering, facilitating regulatory compliance and the development of these organisations.

Pérez-Llorca hosted the presentation of the book in Madrid in an event attended by Constanza Vergara Jaakkola, Partner and COO of Pérez-Llorca; Dídac Severino, Partner of Pérez-Llorca; Isabel Jiménez Mancha, CSR Director of Pérez-Llorca; Julio Domingo Souto, General Manager of Fundación MAPFRE; and Pilar García Ceballos-Zúñiga, President of the Spanish Association of Foundations (AEF).

The work, written entirely by lawyers from the Firm and produced with the support of Fundación MAPFRE, offers a comprehensive legal analysis of the main issues faced by Third Sector entities in Spain, comprising a total of 28,000 institutions.

This publication makes it easier for these entities to comply with their regulatory obligations and to carry out their activities effectively. The topics covered range from the representation of these entities and their interaction with the Public Administrations, to technical issues such as taxation, data protection, criminal compliance, prevention of money laundering, insurance underwriting and activities with an environmental impact.

Constanza Vergara Jaakkola and Isabel Jiménez opened the day by explaining the reasons behind this initiative. During the introduction, they highlighted the uniqueness of the book since, until now, there was no other work that offered a comprehensive approach for all third sector entities, covering transversally the most relevant legal aspects of their daily operations.
