The Firm - Philosophy
The Firm
Four reference markets and a team of lawyers who, with their qualifications and international experience, have contributed to the genesis of this new firm, dedicated to the provision of client consultancy on both a national and international level.
The plurinational make up of our team, consolidated over many years, makes DAUSS a firm with a specific vocation to assist German speaking clients. Along with the provision of legal consultancy services of the highest quality, we also offer a level of support and cultural understanding that is essential when it comes to doing business and investing in Spain.
Our national clients have also placed their trust in our team, recognising our international make up as a distinguishing feature that will, jointly, lead to the achievement of more distant goals.
Philosophy
At DAUSS we are pioneers, with a firm belief in the introduction of Lean Management for the provision of legal services and in relation to our clients.
Continuous improvement
We question everything, seeking to optimise our processes and concentrating them on those aspects that are strictly necessary, and that bring added value.
Breaking ground
We analyse the common patterns that emerge from the interaction between business activity and the legal system, to create optimum solutions, in terms of expedience and results.
“Our interest is the solution, focusing on the result.”

For those reasons, we developed a program of collaboration with various organizations and institutions to help overcome the difficulties that exist all over the world and affect people every day in various topics such as health, education and safety.

Asociación Española de Cáncer de Mama Metastásico (ACMM)
La Asociación Española Cáncer de Mama Metastásico was born from the initiative of the young Chiara Giorgetti, who in January 2017 created a closed group on Facebook in order to share the experiences of women with Metastatic Breast Cancer, a group that clearly live a different reality from the one of the women with breast cancer.
It is the only Spanish Association that represents this disease that is managed, lead and directed by female patients and that, in addition, dedicates 80% of its resources to RESEARCH.

Se esti_a que una de cada cuatro _ujeres con cáncer de _a_a acaba desarrollando _etástasis, es decir, que el tu_or se extiende a otros órganos, co_o al hígado o a los pul_ones. Esto hace que su pronóstico sea _ás grave. De hecho, _ientras que la tasa de supervivencia relativa a cinco años en los estadios iniciales del cáncer de _a_a es del 99%, en su variante _etastásica, es del 28%. Son datos poco conocidos por la población, pese a la gran cantidad de ca_pañas de concienciación sobre el cáncer de _a_a, centradas habitual_ente en su prevención y diagnóstico precoz.
OCHOTUMBAO FOUNDATION: The Foundation of actors Dani Rovira and Clara Lago to spread their social commitment to the world
Aware of the media relevance of famous faces, actors Dani Rovira and Clara Lago, together with Daniel Solano, created the Ochotumbao Foundation: “Our primordial desire is to create a global awareness that unites efforts through the different solidarity organisations that act on the ground developing specific charitable activities”.
The Ochotumbao Foundation has three very clear lines of action: to support and make visible those projects aimed at improving the living conditions of the most disadvantaged people, the commitment to the environment and the reinforcement of the defence of animals.
Individually we cannot cope with the inequalities and growing needs of today’s world: that is why we actively collaborate to give visibility and effectiveness to all our little grains of sand.
The members of Fundació Arrels are people who want nobody to sleep in the street. Since 1987 we have accompanied more than 14,700 homeless people on their way to autonomy, offering guidance and useful services of accommodation, food and social and health care. We have the support of 68 workers, nearly 400 volunteers and more than 5,700 members and donors who collaborate to make #noonesleepingonthestreet possible

Since March, 26, 2015, Yemen, the poorest country in the Middle East, has been living a silent war, where indiscriminate bombings affect millions of civilians trapped under fire every day. More than 24 MILLION PEOPLE suffer what the UN has labeled as the MOST SERIOUS HUMANITARIAN EMERGENCY IN THE WORLD.
Solidarios sin Fronteras, the only Spanish NGO in Yemen, works to provide emergency assistance to Yemeni families, especially those displaced from their homes by the bombings. It also provides basic daily food in schools so that families bring their children and ensure their education, trying to protect children from child marriage (girls) and their more than likely recruitment as soldiers (boys).
At the present time, more than 2 million children do not attend school: 72% of girls are married before the age of 18 and 44.5% before the age of 15 (UNICEF, January 2019 Report); they are taken out of school, separated from their family and friends and often become slaves in their new home. They suffer physical and sexual violence, premature pregnancies, death from childbirth, etc.
More than 2,700 children have been abducted by militias to fight or to act as slaves in armed groups. The recruitment of child soldiers has increased by more than 2,500 per cent and continues to grow.
In this context, Solidarios sin Fronteras decided to start their Project Breakfasts to Educate and Protect in Yemen. The NGO distributes more than 23,000 breakfasts per month to more than 1,000 children between the ages of 6 and 16, resulting in a school attendance rate of a 100 per cent.

Education is a powerful weapon which makes it easier for some children in Yemen to live according to their age.
Help us educate and protect these children.
Women and girls around the world have to fight against daily discrimination and violence in all aspects of their lives. Despite the all the evolution achieved, they still have to face enormous obstacles that impede the full and effective recognition of their human rights.
It is under this premise that Women’s Link Worldwide was born, an international non-profit organization formed by female lawyers, which for more than fifteen years has used the power of law to promote social change that favors the rights of women and girls, avoiding, among other things, gender discrimination and biases.
Current events show that justice and reality seem to be increasingly moving further apart when it comes to gender issues. As it happens, in Spain, cases such as “La Manada” and Juana Rivas have shaken society as a whole and, together with their growing awareness, have marked a turning point in this struggle.
In this context, Women’s Link promotes and proposes the use of law not only for getting rid of discrimination but to protect women and girls rights. In this way, it develops and implements new legal strategies that pursue the gender equality recognition at all levels (e.g. they obtained a judgement of the Spanish Supreme Court that condemned Spain to indemnify Angela Gonzalez, who lost her daughter murdered by her abuser father); advocates gender-sensitive training for justice practitioners so they can identify and eliminate biases and stereotypes; and actively participates in public debate so that discriminatory behavior against women and girls are challenged and socially rejected.
Our aspiration is to achieve a future of justice and equality in which all people, regardless of gender, can fully enjoy their rights.

We do.

During this year, we have been committed to the eradication of yaws, a neglected tropical disease, with a disabling skin manifestation. Each year, yaws affects more than 100,000 children from age 5 to 15 in more than 13 endemic countries in West Africa, Southeast Asia and the Pacific.
In addition to the physical impact it causes (painful ulcers, itching infections), the disease leaves emotional (stigma) and economic sequelae (mainly due to the loss of years of schooling, which limits the people suffering from emerging of poverty). Until recently, penicillin, administered as injections, was the only treatment for yaws’s disease. This has made it very difficult to sufficiently provide and cure people in remote areas and, another problem, the injections were painful for children.
In 2012, at the research platform on the island of Lihir in Papua New Guinea, Dr. Oriol Mitjà discovered that a single dose of azithromycin, dispensed as a tablet, eliminates the disease in a quick, painless and affordable way. The cost of this treatment is only € 1 per person.
Because of that achievement, the yaws disease has now the potential to become an eradicated disease. DAUSS Law has committed to Dr. Oriol Mitjà and ISGlobal, associated with Hospital Clínic de Barcelona, to help make yaws the second eradicated disease in the world and stop the suffering of so many caused by it..

To this end we have fully committed ourselves to supporting the humanitarian cause of Proactiva Open Arms helping them to spread their message, aimed at the promotion of increased awareness in our society.
The NGO Proactiva Open Arms has, since 2015, been based on the island of Lesbos (Greece) where it carries out maritime rescue and lifesaving services, in response to the greatest humanitarian crisis of our times, and where they maintain a permanent team of 14 people, 3 rescue boats, 4 jet skis and professional equipment, all of which has been achieved solely through donations made by ordinary people.
So far in 2016, despite the tough sea and weather conditions, over 153,000 people have reached Europe by sea, in search of asylum. According to the International Organisation for Migration, 456 people have lost their life during this crossing, which means that, since the beginning of 2016, lives are being lost at sea at the rate of 6 a day, many of them children.
All are trying to escape war, violence and persecution in their countries of origin, such as Syria, which has now entered its sixth year of armed conflict, Iraq or Afghanistan. They cross the sea, packed into precarious embarkations, wearing life-jackets, which in most cases lack any kind of floatability, at the mercy of the Turkish mafias.
In September 2015, Proactiva Open Arms started up a crowdfunding campaign aimed at achieving the necessary resources that would allow them to remain on Lesbos as long as possible.
Since their arrival on Lesbos last September they have helped 143,358 people reach the coast in safety: of these 10,273 have had to be rescued from boats sinking at sea, another 9,067 stranded below cliffs and 475 directly from the water.
