Following two terms as managing partner, during which time he has succeeded in further strengthening the firm’s position in the Iberian market, Salvador Sánchez-Terán will become the firm’s new senior partner. “It has been a real privilege to share the firm’s leadership with Jesús; his example will continue to serve as a benchmark for me and my colleagues,” said Salvador.

Antonio Herrera

Antonio Herrera joined Uría Menéndez in 1998 and has been a partner since 2007. He began his career in Madrid, later headed the New York office, and subsequently spent over a decade in charge of the Barcelona office. Since July 2024, he leads the Corporate Law Practice. His professional expertise includes M&A transactions, corporate governance, structured finance and advising start-ups. He has also been a professor at ESADE Law School for over ten years.

“I am grateful to my partners for their trust in me to take on this responsibility; it is an honour and a challenge that I embrace with great enthusiasm. I intend to build on the achievements of both Salvador and my predecessors, while continuing to develop Uría Menéndez in accordance with the principles that have always defined our firm: legal and ethical rigour, client dedication, commitment to internal talent and social responsibility”, said Herrera.

Following a distinguished career as a partner, Jesús Remón – who will remain at the firm as partner emeritus – stated that these appointments reflect “the continuity of our model, with a focus on long-term planning and generational renewal.” He also thanked the firm and its members for their unwavering support, and for giving him the opportunity to be part of this collective project.
