Law firm Garrigues has moved to its new premises in New York. The office is now located in the heart of Manhattan at 780 Third Avenue, 40th floor.

In the opening ceremony, held at the Instituto Cervantes, the firm's chairman Antonio Garrigues, urged those present to continue working to promote relations between Spain and the US, pointing to some of the ties that bind the two countries. "We share a common interest in Latin America, where our work must continue. It is also worth highlighting the ever more decisive role being played by the Hispanic community in the US and the very substantial flow of investment between the two countries. In the last five years, investments by Spanish companies in the States have outstripped the sum total of those made in the previous 50 years," Garrigues said.

Garrigues launched its New York operations in 1973. It currently employs eight professionals under the co-ordination of partners Xavier Ruiz and Jose Ramon Villar, serving the M&A, joint ventures, corporate restructuring, tax planning, corporate/commercial law and litigation practice areas.

As well as advising on Spanish law, the office has assembled a specialist team on the Latin American market, backed up by the member firms of Affinitas, the Latin American alliance promoted by Garrigues and present in Chile, Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Mexico and Portugal.
