Iberian Lawyer June issue is now available for free download
Iberian Lawyer offers an overview of InspiraLAw 2021 gala night at the luxurious Four Seasons. It was a great success in terms of attendance and about the desire to spend some time together, to meet again. It was the first live event after one year and a half of strong pandemic restrictions.
In this issue, each version cover is dedicated to an outstanding law firm from Portugal and Spain, respectively. From the Spanish side, we present a family law firm, commanded in perfect harmony by two men of different generations, Bernardo M. Cremades, founding partner of the international Spanish law firm B. Cremades & Asociados, now 77 years old, and his son, Bernardo M. Cremades Jr., 38. Meanwhile, with the second female managing partner in its recent history, the Portuguese firm Abreu Advogados is positioned as “a woman’s world” on the English version cover. Inês Sequeira Mendes reveals her plans for the firm during the two-year term ahead and what she hopes will be her legacy when it ends.
Also, in this number, we offer our Rising Stars, “Iberian Lawyer dolphins”. Fifty lawyers, both from private practice and in-house, all under 35 years old, from Spain and Portugal, presented alphabetically. The parity list is the result of the selection criteria, such as their outstanding participation in matters and/or relevant news given by this media during the last year. Unlike last year, Iberian Lawyer has not taken into account references in international legal directories with the purpose of establishing its own identity.
Representing the in-house collective, this issue features an interview with Marta Oñoro, general counsel of Allfunds’ Legal department, who explains to us how this area has contributed to the international expansion of the Spanish company. From Portugal, we have Ida de Brandão Triães, Legal director, global associate and Legal leader for Portugal and Spain at McKinsey & Company.
On this occasion, Iberian Lawyer travels to Brussels to meet José Rivas, a veteran in the European arena, partner and head of Bird & Bird’s Competition practice in Brussels and, from now on in Spain too, as he announces to Iberian Lawyer.
As an unstoppable young man in May, Antonio Mendes, a 34-year-old lawyer who left a Big Law firm such as Garrigues Portugal, where he worked as a senior associate, to launch his private client boutique, Kore Partners, together with other colleagues. He represents the “young lawyers and entrepreneurs” that we are witnessing in this last period stand out on the Iberian map.
The usual contributions from Women in a Legal World (WLW), the World Compliance Association (WCA) and the Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) complete this edition.
