Partner in charge of the Labor Law Department, Mireia joined the firm in 2001, assuming different positions of responsibility since the early years of her professional career. In an environment of great regulatory activity and paradigm shift in relation to traditional labor models, “Mireia has contributed to position the labor practice among the most recognized in Spain and internationally,” shared in a statement from the firm. During her career, Mireia has managed local and multi-jurisdictional labor and HR projects, including restructurings, individual dismissals, mergers and acquisitions, integration projects, litigation, conflicts and labor negotiations, among others.

Mireia thanked her partners for their trust and support in this new stage and highlighted the fact that the firm has a roadmap that “has allowed us to consolidate a leading position among international firms in Spain”. In this sense, and knowing the economic, business and social complexity of recent years, he has stated that “we will continue to work to further consolidate that position and we will continue to do so as a true extension of our clients’ teams. In this way we will continue to model a unique firm culture in the market that will also allow us to continue attracting the best talent”.

Bruno Domínguez also thanked his partners for their trust and highlighted Baker McKenzie’s commitment “to really define, build and manage professional careers that make our lawyers grow in order to respond to the needs of our clients in Spain and internationally”. Likewise, he also thanked “the work of all the support staff who demonstrate their daily commitment to our firm and an essential professional contribution to the achievement of our strategic plan”.
