Garrigues employees in Madrid were inaugurating new headquarters when the power went out.
In Madrid, Garrigues employees were working—for the first time—in their new corporate headquarters on Monday. The Spanish law firm had previously operated across three buildings in the capital city and relocated to a single building at Torres de Colón to house its team of 700 local professionals.
But inauguration day was cut short when, at 12:38 pm local time, Iberia’s electricity network collapsed, causing an unexpected blackout across the entire peninsula.
