Tirant lo Blanch

Tirant lo Blanch is a Spanish corporate group specialised in legal knowledge and legal technology. It began in 1976 in Valencia as a bookshop next to the University of Valencia, and from that bookshop grew the publishing house Tirant, which today is the group's best-known face. The group describes itself as a family of companies with a technological, publishing, training and consulting vocation, all focused on the legal field, with direct operations in Spain and throughout Ibero-America. The publishing arm, Tirant Editorial, specialises in legal works as well as social sciences and humanities. According to the group, it has been ranked since 2014 as the most prestigious academic publisher in Spain by the SPI ranking of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), a recognition it says spans social sciences, humanities and law. It publishes more than 1,100 titles a year in Spanish and Portuguese, supported by recognised experts in the field. Beyond print and digital books, Tirant has for more than twenty years developed virtual libraries and databases of legislation and case law for legal professionals. The group states that more than 3,000,000 users rely on its electronic resources. Over more than a decade it has worked on advanced legal artificial intelligence, with solutions such as Tirant Analytics and SOFIA 3.0, and it integrates services such as law-firm management, compliance and consulting into its platforms to offer an integral service. The group is organised around several business lines. Tirant Tech develops technology solutions for legal operators, including generative legal AI trained on the publisher's knowledge base. Tirant Formación, added to the group in 2006, provides practical, up-to-date legal training and postgraduate studies. Tirant eGob is the group company dedicated to consulting on public-policy development for governments, institutions and public and private administrations. Tirant Librería covers the bookshop side of the business. Tirant lo Blanch has its head office in Valencia at Artes Gráficas 14, with a delegation in Madrid and international offices in São Paulo (Brazil), Bogotá (Colombia), Mexico City (Mexico), Santiago (Chile) and Lima (Peru), and it also lists Costa Rica among its international websites. Its markets therefore centre on Spain and Portugal and extend across Latin America. The group presents itself as the reference publishing group in Spain and Latin America and continues to invest in legal-tech products, including recent developments around generative AI, search assistants and law-firm management tools.

Tirant lo Blanch was born in 1976 in Valencia as a bookshop located next to the University of Valencia. From that bookshop, a few years later, the publishing house Tirant emerged, and it is this publishing activity that gave the group its name and its initial reputation. The company describes itself as a Valencian enterprise that began as a publisher and progressively broadened into a group of companies with technological, publishing, training and consulting activities, all specialised in the legal field. The publishing business grew into one of Spain's leading academic law publishers. According to the group, since 2014 Tirant has occupied first place as the most prestigious academic publisher in Spain in the SPI ranking produced by the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), a recognition it says covers all the disciplines it serves: social sciences, humanities and law. The group states that it publishes more than 1,100 titles a year in Spanish and Portuguese. More than twenty years ago, Tirant began to develop virtual libraries and databases of legislation and case law for legal professionals, moving the business beyond print publishing into electronic legal information. The group now reports more than 3,000,000 users of its electronic resources. Over more than a decade it has worked on advanced legal artificial intelligence, producing solutions such as Tirant Analytics and SOFIA 3.0, and it has integrated services such as law-firm management, compliance and consulting into its platforms to give its electronic services an integral character. In 2006, Tirant Formación joined the group, created with the aim of offering quality legal training both to professionals who want to update their knowledge and to jurists from around the world who wish to pursue postgraduate studies. The group also created Tirant eGob, dedicated to consulting on public-policy development for governments, institutions and public and private administrations, and Tirant Tech, which develops technology solutions for legal operators, including generative legal AI trained on the publisher's knowledge base. Geographically, the group has expanded from Valencia across Spain and into Ibero-America. Its head office remains in Valencia, with a delegation in Madrid and international offices in São Paulo, Bogotá, Mexico City, Santiago and Lima, plus an international website for Costa Rica. The group presents itself as the reference publishing group in Spain and Latin America. In recent years it has continued to roll out legal-tech innovations, including Sofia 4.0, AI in search, an assistant in Gestión Despachos and Tirant Prime, positioning knowledge at the centre of its AI offering.
