In the words of new partner Joaquín Macías Pérez, “it is exciting to have become a partner in the firm where I started my professional career. I am very grateful to our clients for their trust and to all my colleagues for their support, especially Ismael Fernández Antón and Cristina Calvo, with whom I have had the good fortune to work during all these years, as well as the rest of great team that makes up the Madrid office and that makes Ashurst a firm with its own identity, especially recognised in the market.
