MISSION

Our distinguishing features have always been the same: rigour, efficiency, security and creativity. Rigour and efficiency through serious and honest advice. Security and creativity in the design of individualised legal and taxpaying frameworks adapted to the needs of each client. That versatility is founded on a team of professionals who give our firm a multi-disciplinary character which makes it stand out, and which allows us to compete with multi-national legal practices and firms of national standing, with the added advantage of our proximity to our clients, our profound knowledge of our environment and its peculiarities, and its firm and decisive involvement in the development of our territory, in direct collaboration with the business fabric and the administration.

Our offices in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Adeje and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, with the permanent presence of our partners and managers, allow us to always be where we have to be: close to our clients, available to offer solutions and continuous support.

CORPORATE
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)

At CABRERA RODRÍGUEZ, we are aware of our role in improving our society. Our concern for building social value, combating the recurrent infringement of human rights, for the situation of the most disadvantaged groups and for the protection of the environment makes it indispensable that we should adopt policies of Corporate Social Responsibility as part of our philosophy.

An essential part of our Corporate Social Responsibility is the promotion and defence of policies of gender equality and promotion of the roles of women in society. We demand the recognition of professional women as leaders, as an essential driving force for social progress. Our office is a vivid example of this new and necessary reality, with 80% women and 20% men.

Our social commitment begins with our team, our greatest asset, to help them and motivate them to improve at all levels and to reconcile professional and personal life.

In our professional practice and through pro-bono work we systematically help people and companies that need us, and which do not have economic possibilities. We also work habitually with charitable organisations and as far as possible finance deserving causes.

We promote a sustainable organization, incorporating a protocol of maximum digitalization of our files and documentation to minimize the use of paper and cardboard, and we carry out recycling processes involving these materials systematically and we have completely eliminated single-use plastic in our offices.

Finally, we take on, as lawyers and advisers, the commitment and moral duty to collaborate in making our legal system more and more just and equitable.
