Fieldfisher reaches 16.3 million euros
Fieldfisher closes 2024 with a turnover of 16.3 million euros, 18% more than the previous year. This growth is due to an increase in services to international clients, which exceeded 20% of turnover, and to internal cross-selling. “From Fieldfisher we encourage collaboration between partners and teams because only through teamwork we will achieve excellence in service to our clients and the success of the firm”, explains Héctor Jausàs, president of Fieldfisher.
Talent
In line with the development of the internal business, at the end of 2024, Jacobo Otero, Banking and Finance partner, and Javier Galán, Real Estate partner, were promoted to quota partner. In addition, during 2024, there were several signings aimed at expanding different practice areas: Javier Cuairán, partner of Criminal and Compliance, Adriana Lafuente and Pablo Vinageras, both partners of Corporate M&A, Víctor Morán, partner of Tech&Data and Xavier Aixelà, partner of Tax.
Revealing at the top of the board
At the end of 2024 Fieldfisher, as a result of the firm’s own growth and evolution, changed its board of directors, after Jordi Ruiz de Villa‘s mandate since 2020. Héctor Jausàs, as president, Rodrigo Martos and Talmac Bel, as managing partners, took over with the focus “on internationalization, quality of services and attracting and retaining talent”.
Within the framework of talent, from a team standpoint, the number of lawyers has grown from 91 to 101 fee earners with a growth of 11%. “One of our strategic priorities is to be attractive in attracting talent” explains Talmac Bel.
Sectorial
The firm is focused on the Energy, Financial, Life Science, Real Estate, Technology sectors where it has experienced strong growth and several business lines have also been enhanced, with the practice areas that have grown the most throughout 2024 being Tech & Data, Corporate M&A as well as Labor, Compliance and Tax, while the rest of the areas have also grown with less intensity. “Our teams are growing in quality and specialization because we have created the right environment for our talent, always dedicated to the client, to develop to its full potential,” says Rodrigo Martos.
New management focused on internationalization and talent
The company is facing a period of transformation that will redefine its business model, with talent and internationalization as key strategic axes. With a firm commitment to quality, innovation and expansion, the new management team is focusing on the sophistication of services, ensuring that professionals, clients and sustainability continue to be the core of its development.
Fieldfisher plans to continue on the path of growth that has marked these last years and also in the framework of talent in which they foresee the incorporation of 4 more partners during 2025 that will add value to the firm. At the beginning of 2025 they announced the incorporation of Anaïs Cobo as a Laboral partner who will be located in the Barcelona office.
Robert Shooter, Global Managing Partner of Fieldfisher: “Spain is an integral part of Fieldfisher’s international network, playing a key role in our European strategy. The growth of the Spanish business, together with the expansion of our talent and client base, is a testament to the strength of our firm in this market. I have full confidence in the leadership of Hector, Rodrigo and Talmac to continue to build on this success.”
