Twelve of the new partners practice in Spain and five of them (41.6%) are women. The other 4 partners come from our international offices: three from Latin America and one from Portugal. In total, 16 new equity partners have been appointed, taking the total number to 313.** At the firm’s international offices, partners have been named in Bogotá (Colombia), Santiago de Chile (Chile) and Lima (Peru); in addition to a new Portuguese partner at the Lisbon office. Latin America and Portugal are two of Garrigues’ growth markets. Of the 12 partners appointed in Spain, five belong to the Madrid office, three are from Barcelona, and one each from the Bilbao, San Sebastián, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and Alicante offices. Of the 32 Garrigues offices around the world (the firm is present in 13 countries), 18 are in Spain, demonstrating the firm’s multinational, multi-local approach, something which sets us apart, and its capacity to offer clients the same quality service at any office worldwide. During the Partners’ Meeting, the partners had the opportunity to review the challenges faced by the firm today, such as attracting young talent and the need to anticipate new client needs. They also looked at the firm’s digital transformation journey and how the firm has adapted to (and often anticipated) market trends.
