RSM Expands in Las Palmas with SanTelmo Integration

RSM expands in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria by integrating SanTelmo Abogados y Economistas., doubling its size and enhancing its Tax & Legal services. This strategic move brings 15 professionals from SanTelmo to RSM, broadening their advisory capabilities in the Canary Islands.

The partners from SanTelmo, Javier Rodríguez-Batllori Laffitte, Eduardo Sánchez Iglesias, and Javier de Bethencourt Gallego, along with their team of professionals, will join RSM’s Tax & Legal division. This move aims to enhance RSM’s services in the Canary Islands, where the firm is already well-regarded in the audit sector under the leadership of partner Javier Álvarez.

SanTelmo is a well-established firm providing comprehensive legal, tax, and economic advisory services. Their team specializes in various business law areas, including commercial and corporate law, tax, labor, and administrative law. The firm also brings extensive experience in key economic sectors such as tourism, energy, services, and real estate.

With this integration, the law firm doubles its size in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, leveraging SanTelmo’s solid track record, substantial client base, and highly specialized team. This expansion will enable them to offer a broader range of services to businesses in the Canary Islands and provide multidisciplinary advisory services with national and international reach.

David García, Director of Tax & Legal and Vice President of RSM Spain, highlighted the strategic alignment of this growth: “The integration of SanTelmo is consistent with our strategy and allows us to bring in partners who share our vision and values in a strategic location.”
