Cuatrecasas merges with the Vigo-based law firm Varela & Güell Abogados

The Cuatrecasas's Partners' assembly has approved its merger with the Vigo-based law firm Varela & Güell Abogados, following the decision adopted by Cuatrecasas at the beginning of the year to expand nationally and internationally. Varela & Güell is a law firm that advises well-known companies from the cement, hydroelectric, transport, construction, fishing and chemical sectors, among others. The merger agreement is founded on two fundamental ideas: the establishment of Cuatrecasas in Galicia and the close relationship that many clients of Varela & Güell hold with companies or subsidiaries located in Portugal. This relationship will be strengthened by the presence of Cuatrecasas in Portugal through the law firm Gonçalves Pereira Castelo Branco, with which it merged in 2001.The new Cuatrecasas Galicia office will have seven lawyers, including the new Cuatrecasas partners Juan Mª Varela, Luis Güell and Lorenzo Varela, experts in tax law, corporate law, and civil litigation respectively. This office will offer high added-value legal services throughout Galicia, thereby covering a strategic part of the Cantabrian coast thanks to its proximity to Portugal.This new opening follows that in Paris last month, with which Cuatrecasas now has 18 offices in six countries in Europe and the Americas.
