ILIA ETL GLOBAL signs Natalia Gómez de Enterría to reinforce its labour area in Mallorca
Natalia Gómez de Enterría (formerly RSM, Fieldfisher, Dentons, Sagardoy and MA Abogados) joins ILIA ETL GLOBAL's Mallorca office.
ILIA ETL GLOBAL has incorporated Natalia Gómez de Enterría into its Mallorca office to reinforce the Labour Law area. The lawyer brings more than three decades of experience in Labour Law and labour relations, with a career combining advice from law firms and human resources management within organisations, as reported by Lawyerpress on 3 November 2026.
Her arrival forms part of the firm's strategy to expand its specialised advisory capabilities and strengthen its presence in the Balearic Islands, where ILIA ETL GLOBAL has three offices: two in Palma and one in Alcúdia.
A profile of three decades in Labour Law
Gómez de Enterría brings more than three decades of experience in Labour Law and labour relations, with a career combining advice from law firms and human resources management within organisations. It is an uncommon combination in the market: the lawyer who has been on both sides of the table —advising from outside and deciding from inside— offers the client a more realistic reading of how labour decisions are executed in a company.
Career: firms and people management
Gómez de Enterría has held various positions of responsibility throughout her career. She has been a partner in the labour area of RSM, senior associate at Fieldfisher and Dentons and director of the labour area at MA Abogados. Previously, she practised for twelve years at Sagardoy Abogados.
That career in firms is complemented by a period of internal management: she was director of Organisation and Human Resources at the Sociedad General de Autores y Editores (SGAE), an experience that added to her legal profile direct responsibility for people management and labour relations. That dual facet —adviser and manager— is precisely one of the arguments for her incorporation into a labour practice advising companies and organisations.
Reinforcing the structure in the Balearics
ILIA ETL GLOBAL's offices in Mallorca provide advice to companies and individuals through teams from the legal, tax, accounting and business areas. The firm also highlights the international dimension of its activity on the island: one of its Palma offices has a team of German lawyers and advisers, whose work is complemented by the International Desk, dedicated to advising international companies and investors.
"We have a very consolidated team in Mallorca, with extensive experience and a clear international vocation. The incorporation of Natalia allows us to continue reinforcing our specialised advisory capacity and respond to our clients' needs," says Germán Pérez, co-director of ILIA ETL GLOBAL, in the released information.
What a signing like this means for the client
In practice, the incorporation of a labour lawyer with more than thirty years in the profession changes the type of matters an office can take on with guarantees: complex collective bargaining, employment regulation proceedings with a union component, labour due diligence in corporate transactions and high-value litigation, in addition to recurring company advice. The lawyer's experience as director of Organisation and HR at a large entity such as SGAE adds an angle scarce in the market: the inside view of how personnel decisions are made —and documented—, key both to preventing conflicts and to defending them in court when they arrive.
Labour practice in the Balearics
The island context adds its own arguments to the demand for labour advice: an economy with strong tourist seasonality, intensive hiring in hospitality and services, and labour relations marked by sectoral collective agreements and the particularities of permanent-seasonal contracts. For companies based or active in the islands, having senior labour advice on the island itself —rather than referred to Madrid or Barcelona— is a relevant operational advantage, especially in labour inspection, regulation proceedings and individual and collective litigation.
ETL GLOBAL and the multidisciplinary network
ILIA ETL GLOBAL is part of ETL GLOBAL, one of the large Spanish multidisciplinary advisory networks, bringing together law firms, tax advisers and consultants under a model of strong territorial presence. That model explains the structure of the Mallorca office —legal, tax, accounting and business teams under one roof— and its vocation of comprehensive service to SMEs and foreign investors established on the island. In that ecosystem, the labour area is not an isolated department but a piece of recurring advice: hiring, personnel costs and labour litigation connect directly with the tax and accounting work of the other teams.
From SGAE to the firm: management experience as an argument
Gómez de Enterría's period as director of Organisation and Human Resources at the Sociedad General de Autores y Editores deserves a note of its own. SGAE is a collective management entity for intellectual property rights with a complex workforce and a history of intense labour and union activity; directing organisation and people there implies having managed collective bargaining, restructurings and internal conflicts from the employer's position. That learning —how a labour decision is made inside an organisation, what documentation supports it, where the flaws that later explode in court usually lie— is exactly what distinguishes an external adviser from one who has also been the client. The firm highlights precisely that dual facet, adviser and manager, as one of the arguments for the incorporation.
The market for labour lawyer signings
The incorporation comes at a time of intense activity in the Spanish law firm talent market, with movements of partners and teams between national and international firms. The labour area, in particular, maintains sustained demand driven by litigation over working hours and time recording —with the High Court very active on doctrine of general interest, such as the recent one on the refund of the severance payment in cases of reinstatement— and by the growing regulatory complexity of labour relations.
For mid-sized firms with a territorial presence, such as ILIA ETL GLOBAL in the Balearics, signing senior profiles with careers at large firms is the usual way to reinforce response capacity without giving up proximity to the local client. It is a dynamic also observed in other recent movements in the sector, such as the incorporation of Remedios García as tax partner at Toda & Nel-lo, and in the launch of new specialised boutiques, such as RPB Legal's bet on comprehensive advice to athletes with Footlaw Club.
