He holds a degree in Law from the University of A Coruña. Before joining KPMG Abogados, Fariña worked for more than 8 years at Cuatrecasas Gonçalves Pereira and, previously, at J&A Garrigues.

According to Eva Hernando and José Ramón Cuervo, partners of the firm, “KPMG Abogados is reinforced with the incorporation of two new heads who join the team in Galicia, and who will offer their experience and knowledge in key areas for advising our clients. With their arrival, we consolidate our position as a leading business advisory firm in the region and demonstrate our firm’s commitment to talent and growth in the region,” they say.

For Daniel Fraga, partner in charge of KPMG in Galicia, “these incorporations respond to the objective of continuing to promote KPMG’s offices in Galicia as a strategic enclave for the firm, where we already have more than 130 professionals who provide audit, legal and tax, financial and business advisory services to clients in the main sectors of the Galician economy”.
