Blas Rivas Alejandro

Blas Rivas Alejandro is the Managing Partner of Nerus Abogados, a Spanish law firm specialising in commercial and international legal matters, based in Galicia in north-western Spain. Under his leadership the firm has been recognised as Commercial Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025, an award that reflects both its strength in commercial law and its unusually international character. The recognition affirms the firm's reputation as an adviser built for cross-border business.

The firm's name, Nerus, is drawn from the ideas of nexus, or interconnection, and the neuron, evoking human intelligence, and this reflects the way the practice approaches complex legal challenges. Nerus Abogados advises both companies and individuals, and it also supports other Spanish law firms that require specialised assistance, positioning itself as a resource within the wider legal community as well as a direct adviser to clients. Its commercial focus is complemented by a genuinely international perspective, which is central to how the firm presents itself and to the value it offers clients doing business across borders.

Nerus Abogados' commercial-law practice covers the analysis and drafting of international contracts, mercantile and corporate law, and international business transactions, together with litigation and court representation. The firm also advises on intellectual-property and digital rights, debt collection and insolvency proceedings, real-estate operations, and immigration and family matters. This breadth allows it to accompany businesses through the full range of legal needs that arise in commercial life, from structuring and negotiating deals to resolving disputes and managing the consequences when arrangements break down, while keeping international considerations firmly in view. For businesses trading across borders, the ability to draw on a single firm for contracts, corporate matters and dispute resolution, all with an international perspective, offers real practical value.

A defining feature of the firm is its international network. Blas Rivas Alejandro serves as president of an international association of lawyers, and he is credited with founding what the firm describes as the first and only international network of lawyers with a presence across all five continents, comprising some fifty associated firms. This network gives Nerus Abogados' clients access to coordinated legal support well beyond Spain, a significant advantage for commercial matters that involve counterparties, assets or operations in multiple jurisdictions. It reflects a vision of commercial legal practice in which local expertise is connected to a global reach. Through this network, clients with operations or counterparties abroad can obtain coordinated advice without assembling a patchwork of unconnected local firms.

Blas Rivas Alejandro brings more than twenty-five years of experience to the firm, and he is described as a pioneer in international legal advisory work in Spain. His leadership combines deep commercial-law expertise with the entrepreneurial drive that built a worldwide network of associated firms, giving clients both technical depth at home and connectivity abroad. That combination lies at the heart of the firm's appeal to businesses that operate internationally and value an adviser able to work seamlessly across markets. The naming of Nerus Abogados as Commercial Law Firm of the Year in Spain at the Corporate INTL Global Awards 2025 recognises this distinctive positioning, the breadth of the firm's commercial practice, and the leadership of Blas Rivas Alejandro in building a Spanish firm with a truly global footprint.
