Pinsent Masons opens 6 partner Madrid Office

The team is led by Diego Lozano, head of the firm’s corporate and commercial department and founding partner. He has served in a number of Spanish government ministries, as well as a spell as deputy general counsel of telecoms giant Telefonica.

Other partners joining the firm are Antonio Montero and Inma Castello, and finance partner Idoya Arteagabeitia.

The new office, which will open this May, will also work with two more partners – Ricardo Garcia, and Spanish-speaking construction lawyer Sofia Parra, who is relocating from the firm’s London base.

The launch marks the latest international expansion for Pinsents, after it moved into Africa this January via a launch in Johannesburg.
