Ramírez de Haro will return to Madrid, where he will continue to work closely with the London office through his work with major international funds and firms.

Likewise, Ander Valverde, a partner based in London since 2022, 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 practice in Madrid and remain linked to the London office through the firm’s clients in this key financial centre for this practice.

Pérez-Llorca’s London office has a team of more than 10 people which, alongside 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 bolster this location.

José Luis Romeu joined Pérez-Llorca in 2017 as a lawyer in the Corporate practice and made partner in January 2024.
