Abstract: Abstract In the Spanish State, the best example of best practice is undoubtedly the law on the status of the self-employed. This law resolves different cross-cutting claims of the Collective Labour Agreement, working on full equal rights with other workers in the market. In this sense, it represents an unprecedented step forward in the legal field nationally and internationally. The Ley del Estatuto del Trabajo Autónomo (LETA) (Freelance Worker Statute Law) 20/2007 of 11 July has become the backbone of the self-employed in Spain, systematized into a single law that not only meets the main requirements of the sector but lays the foundations for the promotion and protection of contract work in our country for decades to come.
