María Eugenia Blasco appointed as co-director of AGM Abogados’ Madrid office

AGM Abogados has appointed María Eugenia Blasco Rodellar, partner in the immigration and international mobility area, as co-director of the firm’s Madrid office, a position she will hold together with the current director of the office, Julio Rocafull Rodríguez.

María Eugenia Blasco Rodellar

María Eugenia studied Law at the Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona (UAB). During her internship in an association that helps immigrants, she discovered almost by chance the exciting world of Immigration Law, which immediately captivated her and, after 20 years working in this field, she is still passionate about it.

In 2013, although she continued for a few more years as vice-president of this association, she joined AGM Abogados, setting up the firm’s Immigration Department and specialising in Law 14/2013; since then, she has obtained numerous residence permits for investors, entrepreneurs and qualified professionals. Since 2014, she has also coordinated the firm’s Asian Desk in relation to the firm’s partners in Asia and, more recently, she is also part of the firm’s Latam Desk.

She is currently studying for an MBA at EADA Business School with the aim of continuing to improve her skills in order to provide a better service to her clients.

New co-director of the Madrid office

Now, as new co-director of the Madrid office, “María Eugenia will bring a strategic vision with a strong international component and innovative thinking to meet the objectives of consolidation and growth of the Madrid office and the AGM Group,” the firm said in a statement.

“I accept the position to support my colleagues in Madrid, hand in hand with my partner and co-director Julio Rocafull, bringing a female leadership to the firm that brings an empathetic and innovative vision to reinforce the growth of both the office and the international scope. The objective is to consolidate the existing team and, in parallel, work to achieve organic growth and recruit new partners for the firm. This will be done with the best interests of our clients in mind, while respecting the core values of commitment, trust and collaboration that are at the heart of our firm.

“Personally, it is a challenge and a boost to my professional career. My new position will allow me to fully develop the strategies of a group such as AGM, which is immersed in a process of digital transformation with the aim of becoming a benchmark for innovation in the Spanish legal market. My commitment to this project is total as I believe it will provide a higher quality service to our clients and, at the same time, will make our teams work more efficiently and, therefore, be happier”.
