Monereo Meyer grows team and relocates Tenerife office
Monereo Meyer Abogados has added two new senior associates and moved its Tenerife office to a new address in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Natalia Hernández Encinoso has joined the Santa Cruz de Tenerife office as senior associate, reinforcing the firm’s corporate and real estate advisory practice. Hernández, who has practised law since 2014, has built her career advising companies both from law firms and from international corporate environments, with experience spanning commercial, contract and real estate law as well as legal support on cross-border transactions. She also sits on the boards of several multinational companies, advising their management bodies on corporate governance, regulatory compliance and company management.
Nicolás Melchior Cruz has joined the Madrid office, also as senior associate. With more than fifteen years of experience, Melchior specialises in real estate law, urban planning, land use and construction and procurement matters, having advised developers, investors, property owners and construction companies on large-scale real estate transactions, urban developments and investment projects. His command of German, alongside Spanish, English and French, adds to the firm’s capacity to advise international clients, particularly from German-speaking markets.
Office relocation in Tenerife
The Canary Islands office, co-headed by partners Stefan Meyer and Gustavo Yanes, begins this new phase with premises in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, one of the archipelago’s financial and administrative centres. According to the law firm, “the relocation follows growth in the firm’s activity in recent years and is intended to provide a closer service to companies, investors, high-net-worth individuals and private clients”.
Meyer, partner and co-head of the Canary Islands office, said: “The addition of Natalia and Nicolás responds to a strategy of sustained growth for the firm. We combine greater knowledge of the local market with reinforced international capacity to continue advising Spanish and foreign companies and investors developing projects in the Canary Islands and across the rest of the country.”
Yanes, partner and co-head of the Canary Islands office, added: “It is true that international companies’ interest in establishing themselves in the Canary Islands continues to grow, but beyond that, sound tax advice for local businesses is essential to safeguard their competitiveness. Our firm has a tax litigation department that will help entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals in the Canary Islands safeguard their interests before the tax authorities.”
