San Jose, CA – June 18, 2024: The Corporate Legal Operations Consortium (“CLOC”), the leading organization dedicated to transforming the business and practice of law – is excited to announce the launch of CLOC Spain, further amplifying CLOC’s global reach and growing community in Europe. The mission of CLOC Spain is to build a robust community that supports and advances professional development across Europe and Ibero-America, with an aim to bridge knowledge and collaboration in legal operations, sharing best practices and driving the evolution of this essential function.
With appreciation, CLOC welcomes the inaugural group leaders of CLOC Spain:
- Eugenia Navarro, Legal Operations INON Director, ESADE ExEd and Partner, LOIS
- Gabriel Silva, Legal Manager, Travelperk
- María Pedrosa, Head of Legal Tech and Knowledge Management, Repsol

“Connecting the Spanish legal ops and in-house community with the global CLOC Community opens up immense opportunities for knowledge sharing, best practices, and collaborative innovation. General Counsel are under pressure to do more with less, leading to efforts to optimize outside legal spend through RFPs, law firm panels, and renegotiated pricing structures. This integration helps us stay ahead in this dynamic field, ensuring we are equipped with the latest tools and insights to enhance our local capabilities and drive transformative change.”
–Eugenia Navarro, Legal Operations INON Director, ESADE and Partner, LOIS
“By joining the Spanish CLOC Board Chapter, I’m thrilled to be part of the movement that is bringing Spain’s in-house legal operations forward. By advancing our Spanish community, we can harness this momentum to drive significant improvements in legal practice management, fostering collaboration and innovation, knowledge sharing, technological integration and shared leadership in the global legal operations arena. Furthermore, this synergy is not just about advancement; it’s about setting a new standard for legal operations excellence on a worldwide stage.”
–María Pedrosa, Head of Legal Tech and Knowledge Management, Repsol
CLOC Regional Groups drive a key value proposition of CLOC’s member value by connecting members regionally, providing diverse opportunities to develop and foster relationships with peers, colleagues, and mentors across the legal ecosystem. These groups facilitate a range of programming and networking events at the local level. What happens at the regional group meetings often manifests into industry collaborations, learning, and leadership opportunities for continued professional development. Establishing CLOC Spain further signifies the growing emphasis on the legal operations function, expands CLOC’s commitment to advancing the business of law, and strengthens the global community that drives the enablement of legal departments to serve their clients more effectively by applying business and technical practices to the delivery of legal services.
