Dra. Ivana Herak

Dra. Ivana Herak is a partner at LBW Advocates, a Barcelona-based law firm with an international outlook, and she is dually qualified as an abogada admitted to the Barcelona Bar and as a Solicitor of England and Wales. Under her involvement the firm has been recognised as Business Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, an award that reflects the breadth of its commercial practice and its ability to serve clients across borders. The recognition affirms LBW Advocates' standing as a business-law adviser with genuine international reach.

LBW Advocates has its main office in Barcelona, at the World Trade Center, and operates across a network of locations that includes London, alongside a presence linked to Marbella, Edinburgh and Zagreb. This footprint reflects the firm's stated commitment to providing professional services worldwide, and it positions the practice to advise clients whose interests cross national boundaries. For businesses operating between Spain and other jurisdictions, and for international clients investing or trading in Spain, that multi-location structure offers a single point of contact with the reach to handle matters in more than one country.

The firm's business-law practice is organised across litigation, transactional and corporate work. On the litigation side it handles criminal, civil, commercial, administrative and immigration matters; its transactional work includes maritime law and insurance as well as airline claims; and its corporate services span contractual supervision, mortgage management, intellectual-property rights, accounting and bookkeeping, and company law. This range allows LBW Advocates to support businesses through both their day-to-day legal needs and the disputes and transactions that arise as they grow, combining contentious and non-contentious capabilities within a single firm. For clients doing business between Spain and the United Kingdom in particular, a firm with offices and qualifications in both jurisdictions can bridge the practical and procedural differences that often complicate cross-border commercial work.

The firm's client focus is international and service-driven, and it emphasises professional standards and responsible business practice, including attention to environmental considerations within business strategy. Clients are drawn to the practice for its combination of Spanish legal expertise and cross-border capability, delivered by lawyers who can operate across languages and legal systems. That capacity is embodied in Dra. Herak herself, who alongside her Spanish and English qualifications works across Spanish, English, Italian and Croatian, allowing her to serve clients from a range of backgrounds directly and without intermediaries. This linguistic and legal versatility is a considerable advantage in international commercial matters, where misunderstandings between legal systems and languages can carry real cost.

Dra. Ivana Herak's dual qualification in Spain and in England and Wales gives her a distinctive vantage point on business-law matters that involve both civil-law and common-law considerations, a valuable perspective for international companies and individuals. Her multilingual practice and her role at a firm built around cross-border service reflect the international character of LBW Advocates as a whole. The naming of the firm as Business Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 recognises the depth and breadth of its commercial practice, its international structure, and the leadership of practitioners such as Dra. Herak who combine Spanish and English legal expertise in the service of business clients operating across Europe and beyond.
