Pérez-Llorca announced the promotion of twelve professionals to partners in recognition of their career achievements, commitment, technical excellence, and contribution to the firm’s growth. In this way, the firm reinforces its leadership and its commitment to developing talent in its various offices. Specifically, the new partners belong to the Madrid, Mexico City, and Bogotá offices and will strengthen different strategic practice areas for the firm.
The Pérez-Llorca professionals who will become partners from January 1, 2026 are:

- Iciar de Lorenzo (corporate, Madrid)
- Francisco Gómez (corporate, Madrid)

In addition, the firm has promoted Daragh Brehony (litigation and arbitration, Madrid); Eva del Amo (real estate, Madrid); Antonio García (real estate, Madrid); Nuria García (real estate, Madrid); and María Camila Parra (real estate, Bogotá) to the position of counsel.
These appointments reflect Pérez-Llorca’s goal of promoting internal growth, recognizing its own talent and strengthening its leadership structure in the face of present and future challenges in the legal market.
“We thank these professionals for their commitment, effort and dedication and we are confident that, with the impetus of this new generation of partners, our capacity to serve our clients, as well as our global reach, will be further strengthened,” said Pedro Pérez-Llorca, managing partner of Pérez-Llorca.
London Office
After seven years at the helm of the London office, the first that Pérez-Llorca opened abroad, Álvaro Ramírez de Haro will hand over the reins to José Luis Romeu, a partner who has been working in this location since early 2024.
Ramírez de Haro is returning to Madrid, where he will continue to work closely with the London office through his work with large funds and international firms.
Likewise, Ander Valverde, a partner who has been based in London since 2022 and who has combined his responsibility for the Finance team in Spain with the development of the firm’s debt practice in London, will return to Spain in April 2026, where he will continue to coordinate the Finance area in Madrid and remain linked to the London office through the firm’s clients in this key financial center for this practice.
Pérez-Llorca’s London office has a team of more than 10 people, which, together with José Luis Romeu, includes partners Isabel Villa (restructuring) and the recently appointed Melchor Álvarez de Mon (corporate), who joins the team in the British capital to further strengthen this location.
José Luis Romeu joined Pérez-Llorca in 2017 as a lawyer in the Corporate practice and was appointed partner in January 2024. Specializing in commercial law, his career has a strong international focus. In addition to holding an LL.M. in International Business and Economic Law from Georgetown University, he worked in the firm’s London office in 2019 and 2020 and is also a solicitor of England and Wales.
