Prior to joining Dentons, he was the managing partner of the dispute resolution practice in the Madrid office of Simmons & Simmons and, before that, he was a partner at Deloitte Legal, where he headed the restructuring and insolvency practice.
“I am very much looking forward to the challenge of joining Dentons in Spain, a firm that is not only truly global, but which has experienced dynamic development in the Spanish market in recent years,” said new litigation partner, Santiago Hurtado.
