Turnover in new matters grew by 30%, and there was a 50% increase in revenue from sale and purchase transactions.

In 2021, growth occurred in all territories and practice areas.
Jorge Badía, CEO of Cuatrecasas, considers that the growth of the last five years is not circumstantial: “It’s not that it’s been a good year, it’s that things are going well for us. We have found a formula that is allowing us to recruit exceptionally talented professionals and, at the same time, have an attractive range of services for the market.”
Cuatrecasas ended 2021 with a total of 1,975 employees, including 1,183 lawyers and 229 partners.
