Firm history and main mailstones

[edit]

In 2006, Chambers & Partners awarded Pérez-Llorca with the award 'Iberian Law Firm of the Year'.[4]

In 2013, Pérez-Llorca moved its Madrid office to Paseo de la Castellana 50. The following year, the Barcelona office moved to the Alta Diagonal building located on Avenida Diagonal. [5]

In 2017, Chambers & Partners presented Pérez-Llorca with the award for 'Spain Law Firm of the Year' for the second time.[6][7]

In October 2018, the firm opened its second office in Madrid in the Cuatro Torres Business Area financial district, and became classified as a Large Company.[8]

The firm began publishing its own Legal Journal in 2019, the year in which its founder José Pedro Pérez-Llorca passed away.[9][10]

In 2021 Pérez-Llorca moved its London headquarters to Mayfair. [11]

The firm's expansion continued with new openings in Brussels and Singapore in 2022 and 2023.[12][13]

In September 2023 Pérez-Llorca announced the establishment of a new office and team in Lisbon. This office is dedicated to practising Portuguese law and the firm’s aim is to increase its work in this market to cover the entire Iberian Peninsula.[14]

In July 2024 Pérez-Llorca entered the Mexican market through its merger with the firm Gonzalez Calvillo. The project, which initially added a further 100 lawyers and around 160 professionals to the firm, was created with the aim of providing a differentiated service to clients on both sides of the Atlantic, large multinationals, financial sponsors and other international law firms.
