From Granizo Procuradores, one of the leading law firms in Madrid, two of its partners, Roberto and Maria Granizo, “there is a lot of money sitting around and it is a shame how things are taken. The problem is that the LAJs have been on strike for three months and have not caught up. Any responsible person would have caught up on the pending work, but they dedicate the same hours, so the situation is what it is. The courts still have many problems and we cannot see how this situation will be fixed.”
This attorney tells us that “we already have prior hearings for 2026, this means that this ordinary procedure for claiming amounts could mean that the hearing would be in 2028, which Fax Lists is incredible. I also have some issues for 2025. Regarding payments, you have to be on top of the LAJs to get paid. The problems are in all the courts. The Administration's lawyers tell us to rest assured that there are fifty issues before ours.”
For Maria Granizo: “we have achieved payment of a dispute from a company that has had the money paralyzed in court all summer, we are talking about an amount above 145,000 euros. It is not one of the worst because they have just paid, since there are still many compensations from individuals and companies pending payment for months.”
The lawyer also clarifies that “the LAJs rose from the work table convened by the Ministry of Justice to give the attorneys part of the execution, such as the asset investigation service. When I have gone to make arrangements after the strike and asked about any execution, they have told us that they are not touching them, but they also do not want to delegate the competence that they do not want to delegate to our group. “We are not getting out of this loop.”

Lawyers with financial problems
From the ICAM, Javier Mata, deputy responsible for the area of Defense of the legal profession , comments that “the problem is serious because if we convert those 4.8 billion euros into micro parameters, it could mean the ruin of some families. At the same time, in certain jurisdictions where fee-based work is key in civil liability issues and in other labor issues, which is causing a financial strangulation for many small law firms.”
Along with this, this jurist recalls that in jurisdictions such as the social one “trials for dismissal are being held that are set one year after the presentation of the claim. In other jurisdictions they are set for the year 2025, to which you add that the contributions do not arrive, which can lead to a worker or a family taking three or four years to receive legitimate compensation. This is without prejudice to the contractual termination and the delays in accessing social benefits.”
In his opinion, “the situation is dramatic in many cases and a solution must be sought as urgently as possible. All the problems come when the money has to be delivered to the defendant, it seems that in the end what they are looking for with these delays and the retention of the money in the public treasury is that our administration, in some way, is financed at the expense of the citizen himself . It is a general feeling that professionals have today.”
In Mata's opinion “we experience double control, judicial and administrative. In the end the figure is close to 5,000 million euros, money of which most of it belongs to citizens. We do not understand why recovery plans have not yet been put in place in the courts to expedite these payments. I believe that in the face of this delay there should be an interest in favor of the citizen for the time that that money is held captive. That interest should be clearly regulated.”
