Ejaso continues to strengthen its Barcelona office with the addition of Jordi Bermúdez, formerly managing associate of RocaJunyent and specializing in Commercial and Regulatory-Financial Law.
His arrival represents a new impetus for the firm’s practice in advising entities subject to financial regulation, an area in which Jordi has developed a particularly relevant part of his professional career.
The addition of Jordi Bermúdez comes at a time of special growth for Ejaso in Barcelona and adds to the recent integration of the DS Avocats team in Spain into the firm, an operation that has significantly strengthened its presence and capabilities in the Catalan market.
With both moves, Ejaso significantly consolidates its multidisciplinary advisory capacity in areas such as Commercial and Corporate Law, advising entities and operators of regulated markets, Tax and Fiscal Law, Procedural Law, estate and succession planning.
This combination of capabilities allows the firm to offer comprehensive advice to companies, investors, family groups and regulated entities, combining corporate, financial, regulatory, tax, procedural and asset management knowledge.
