**Garrigues has been doubly recognized as Tax Firm of the Year in Spain and Portugal. The firm collected the honors bestowed by *International Tax Review* (*ITR*) at the European Tax Awards held yesterday in London. These prestigious annual awards reward excellence in tax matters by European firms. The firm also picked up a third award for its participation in Blackstone’s acquisition of the real estate assets of Banco Popular, listed by *ITR* as Impact Deal of the Year.**
Garrigues has been recognized on numerous occasions since the awards were first launched in 2005: it has received the most tax awards in the Iberian Peninsula and is a benchmark in Europe. Just over a month ago, UK directory *Chambers & Partners* also named Garrigues Tax Firm of the Year at its awards dedicated to the Spanish market.
Fernando Vives, chairman of Garrigues, highlighted the importance of these awards for the team: “These accolades showcase the work of the entire tax practice and consolidate our position as a benchmark in international business law.”
The expertise of the team led by Eduardo Abad was one of the aspects most highly valued by the *ITR* panel, which also took into account the firm’s innovation, its international expansion, particularly in Latin America, and the size of the team, which enables Garrigues to participate in major cross-border deals.
