The Iberian Peninsula recently experienced a significant power outage, affecting various sectors, including law firms in Spain and Portugal. In Madrid, the Spanish law firm Garrigues had been celebrating the opening of its new corporate headquarters at Torres de Colón. This event marked a significant change from their previous setup of operating across three separate buildings in the city. The new premises accommodate 700 local professionals.
However, the inauguration was unexpectedly interrupted by a sudden collapse of Iberia’s electricity network, which resulted in a widespread blackout covering the entire peninsula. Despite this setback, law firms like Garrigues have resumed normal operations as the power supply has been restored, allowing business activities to move forward as planned.
