ProLaw Iberia, the law firm led by Jesús Vadillo, plans to reinforce the internationalization of its business with the incorporation of Iñigo Álvarez de Toledo as a new partner of the firm and, at the same time, try to attract business from companies and individuals who want to invest in our country .
ProLaw Iberia, a project started by Jesús Vadillo, a tax attorney with a background in firms such as Garrigues and Hammonds a decade ago, has become a boutique offering different services to the company. “The tax area was the origin of the firm and has led to the development of the office in other jurisdictions. Now with the signing of Iñigo Álvarez de Toledo we will be able to continue offering quality service for companies and individuals.”
This firm is structured around seven partners, all of them experienced professionals, many of them responsible for an area of the firm. Along with them there are twenty-four younger lawyers who serve to provide client service. In the commercial part, the aeronautical and defense area stands out, managed by lawyer Inés de Alvear, former Uría Menéndez and winner of the Ministry of Defense years ago, one of the recognized professionals in this activity.
At the same time, since 2008 the firm has promoted a parallel company Asap Corporate Services, an accounting, tax and labor management company, at a simpler level than the firm itself. “Thanks to their work and that of the firm itself, we can offer our clients tax advice to the extent that they demand based on their complexity,” clarifies the promoter of ProLaw Iberia. It is Arancha Arroyo, partner and economist, responsible for this entity with seven people in charge of it.
In the words of Jesús Vadillo, managing partner of the firm: “our firm is in the process of expansion at a national and international level and, with the arrival of Íñigo Álvarez de Toledo, we further strengthen the tax area, which allows us to face with “better means our expected growth in the short and medium term.” At this time, this jurisdiction accounts for close to seventy percent of the firm's billing.
The incorporation of this prestigious professional to ProLaw Iberia is a clear commitment to continue providing value to the firm's clients, while reinforcing the firm's clear international orientation and its ability to adapt to regulatory changes quickly and professionally. The firm maintains collaboration agreements with other firms, via best friend, both nationally and in other neighboring countries.
“All of the partners at ProLaw Iberia come from large firms and have worked extensively in international practice. This means that we have the door open to companies and individuals who want to invest in Spain. At the same time, on certain occasions we can refer clients to those firms that we know have quality standards similar to ours,” emphasizes Jesús Vadillo.
For Iñigo Álvarez de Toledo “working with expert lawyers like those I have found at ProLaw Iberia is still an incentive for any lawyer who, like in my case, has just joined the firm. On the fiscal level, knowing that the Government's latest reform is being developed, it forces us to stay on top of the issues and help companies understand these regulatory changes.
