An international law firm
A presence in four of the world’s main capitals (London, Brussels, New York and Shanghai) is a must for any firm with true global ambitions. For us, it was a necessary step vis-à-vis our clients and our workforce. We landed there first and foremost to defend our clients’ interests in the best possible way.

Garrigues has an absolute commitment and loyalty to the businesses we serve. This pledge characterizes us as a firm that stands by our clients beyond the immediate transaction itself, and we are thus seen as being both a ‘client firm’ and a ‘transactional firm’. In this line, we guarantee our clients that we will remain fully present throughout the whole process, from initial outset to final outcome, wherever they may be located. Our goal is to advise Spanish and Iberian companies, as well as foreign companies with investment interests in the Iberian markets. These twofold objectives require the firm to build up extremely talented and competitive local teams.
Our Iberian and international clients with investment interests in Latin America have found in Affinitas a reliable network that fully supports them locally with a global perspective.
