ABOUT
We are the ARCHUB Architects, a full-service design and consulting group specializing in environmental design architecture and research. Founded at Abu Dhabi University, ARCHHUB Architects is led by Mohamed Elkaftangui, Nadia Mounajjed, and Alessandra Misuri. It is committed to developing architectural designs towards a contemporary interpretation embodying an environmental and sustainable approach.
ARCHUB's projects encompass housing, public buildings, art, and interior design. Their projects are in the United Arab Emirates, but the team’s professional experience has been extended in Europe and Africa.
While practicing architecture, ARCHUB documents and discusses its reflections on architecture, culture, and arts through publications, architectural exhibitions, and academic lectures and presentations.
MISSION
The thoughtful, collaborative, and lasting creation of architecture can impact quality of life for those who use it. ARCHUB ARCHITECTS is devoted to crafting exclusive and responsive spaces that go beyond the standard building experience. We believe in our responsibility as designers to provide clients with projects that are sustainable and responsible.
PROCESS
A design process informed by research, encompassing every phase:
from planning to programming, as from concept to development.
Environmental assessment and building energy performance.
Optimized design process that leads to sustainable design.
ARCHUB believes that the most important key to success in the design thinking process is to improve the use of creative thinking throughout the different phases of the project.
To keep improving the quality of our solutions, we focus on the end user and create a collaborative environment working on refining ideas. In our projects, we create solutions to combine aesthetics, costs, durability, and environmental responsibility.
Architecture and its environment are interdependent on one another. The environment gives context to its architecture, architecture defines its environment.
In our projects, we provide important care to the thermal comfort of users by the creation of building systems that are adapted to the local environment and functions of the space. We control factors like insulation, solar gain, thermal inertia, and air ventilation.
By adopting an environmental design approach through our scientific engagements, ARCHUB ARCHITECTS possesses a unique advantage over traditional architecture firms when it comes to design and construction.
Most of our architectural projects are subjects of research and publications in conferences and journals.
ARCHUB gives junior architects and alumni access to mentorship, investors, and other support to help them to move beyond their embryonic phase.
ARCHUB provides support and coaching for new architectural projects businesses that have a promising idea, as well as for entrepreneurs still in the idea stage.
In addition to mentorship, our business incubators give young architects access to logistical and technical resources as well as shared office space.
En el ámbito penal, el baremo de 2001 se alejaba de la cuantía económica y se centraba en la complejidad y duración de la instrucción. Los valores "verificados" son:
Aclaración histórica: En 2001, todavía era común el sistema de "pesetas" convertidas a euros. Los redondeos oficiales del Colegio de A Coruña fijaron estos mínimos.
Cuando un abogado en Galicia emite una minuta de honorarios, una de las preguntas más recurrentes entre colegiados y clientes es: "¿Qué dice el baremo?". En la Comunidad Autónoma de Galicia, el documento de referencia histórica es el Baremo de Honorarios del Ilustre Colegio de Abogados de La Coruña (extendido por acuerdo a toda Galicia) del año 2001.
Sin embargo, es crucial partir de una base verificada: la Ley de Servicios Profesionales (Ley 25/2009) y la Ley de Defensa de la Competencia eliminaron la obligatoriedad de los baremos orientativos. No obstante, los jueces y tribunales gallegos aún utilizan el baremo 2001 como referencia orientativa para determinar si unos honorarios son "excesivos" o "temerarios". Este artículo ofrece un análisis actualizado, verificado con jurisprudencia del Tribunal Superior de Xustiza de Galicia (TSXG).

The "Baremo de Honorarios de los Colegios de Abogados de Galicia," approved on September 27, 2001, serves as a significant historical and reference document in the Galician legal landscape. While it has been technically superseded by newer interpretive criteria following anti-trust rulings, it remains a "historical and customary" reference for assessing legal fees in specific judicial contexts. The Context of the 2001 Baremo
The Consello da Avogacía Galega (Galician Bar Council) approved this unified fee schedule in late 2001, with an official entry into force on February 1, 2002. Its primary goal was to provide transparency and predictability for both legal professionals and clients across the various Bar Associations in Galicia, including A Coruña, Lugo, Ourense, Pontevedra, and Vigo. The document is organized into several key sections:
General Rules: Establishing basic principles of fee perception and distribution.
Civil Jurisdiction: Covering everything from matrimonial proceedings to property disputes.
Criminal, Labor, and Administrative Law: Detailing specific fee ranges for different types of hearings and legal actions. Current Validity and the "Verified" Status
It is crucial to understand that "fixed" fee scales (Baremos) were challenged by the Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia (CNMC) for potentially restricting free competition. Consequently:
The 2001 Baremo was officially repealed as a binding mandatory price list.
Current "Criterios Orientadores": Bar associations now provide "guiding criteria" rather than fixed scales. These are used primarily for the assessment of costs (tasación de costas) and legal fee challenges (jura de cuentas). baremo honorarios abogados galicia 2001 verified
Historical Reference: Despite its repeal, many Galician courts and bar associations still use the 2001 document as a "verified historical reference" to determine what constitutes a "reasonable" fee when a court orders one party to pay another's legal costs. Structure of Fee Assessments in Galicia
Legal fees in Galicia are generally determined by three factors:
Freedom of Contract: Lawyers and clients are free to agree on a price.
Professional Criteria: In the absence of a written agreement, the current Criterios de Honorarios of the relevant Bar Association (e.g., ICACOR) apply.
Economic Benefit: Many fee calculations are based on a percentage of the amount involved in the dispute, often ranging from 11% to 25% depending on the stage of the process.
