Committed to you

The figure of Sonia B. Arévalo Píriz it stands as one of the established benchmarks in the legal landscape of Asturias, with an operational focus centered on the judicial district of Avilés, but spanning the central area of Oviedo, Siero, Langreo, or the wings such as Llanes, Cangas de Onís, Pravia, Castropol, and Gijón.

Professional projection begins with the foundation of the law firm AREVALO ABOGADOS in 1996, as member number 3,629 of the Oviedo Bar Association (ICA Oviedo).

Her professional career embodies the evolution of the legal profession from the late 20th century to the contemporary model, characterized by technical specialization, alternative dispute resolution, and involvement in the institutional governance of the profession, accumulating more than thirty years of continuous practice that represent having been a direct witness—and active participant—in profound procedural transformations in the Spanish legal system, such as the implementation of the Civil Procedure Act of 2000, the reform of divorce and custody regulations, and successive modifications of the Criminal Code and laws relating to family mediation.

This continuity in litigation and advisory practice gives their profile a level of technical reliability grounded in procedural experience before courts of first instance, provincial courts, and specialized administrative and criminal bodies.

One of the features that differentiates Arévalo Píriz's career from purely commercial law is his active participation in bar association representative bodies and in the defense of court-appointed legal aid as a pillar of the Social and Democratic State governed by Law.

Throughout her career, she has held prominent positions on the Governing Board of the Oviedo Bar Association (ICA Oviedo), serving as 8th Board Member and 5th Board Member, and assuming leadership and chair responsibilities in critical committees such as Relations with the Administration of Justice, Family Law, and the Legal Aid Duty Shift. In the exercise of these responsibilities, she has represented the Asturian legal profession in national forums, including technical and institutional meetings organized in the Congress of Deputies and coordinated by the General Council of Spanish Lawyers (CGAE) regarding the sustainability and dignity of Legal Aid, as well as the co-directorship of the 1st and 2nd National Congresses on Family Law held in Oviedo.

The theoretical dimension of his profile is completed by two vectors of projection toward the legal community and society:

• Teaching and Postgraduate Training: He has been teaching in the Master's Degree in the Practice of Law since its implementation, in addition to co-directing and participating as a speaker in practical specialization courses in Family Law.
• Presence in the Public Debate: Her outreach aspect has led her to regularly appear in regional media outlets in Asturias and in public debate forums (such as the Asturias Press Club of New Spain), participating as a speaker, moderator, or analyst in debates on professional ethics, legislative reforms, and the social function of the lawyer.
• Lawyer from AEAFA (Spanish Association of Family Lawyers)

Ultimately, Sonia Beatriz Arévalo Píriz represents a model of comprehensive professional practice. Her figure combines more than three decades of independent legal practice, a strong doctrinal rigor applied to the resolution of family and civil disputes, a firm commitment to bar association ethics and the Legal Aid Duty, and ongoing work in transmitting legal knowledge to both Asturian society and future generations of lawyers.
