Garrigues is the Iberian Peninsula’s leading tax and legal services firm in
terms of professional headcount and billings.We know the industry inside
out and provide value added to each and every one of our clients.
Our history dates back to 1941, when brothers Joaquín and Antonio
Garrigues Díaz-Cañabate founded the law firm J&A Garrigues, which
went on to amass enormous prestige in the second half of the 20th
century.
Following the merger with Arthur Andersen,Asesores Legales y
Tributarios (ALT) in 1997, the Firm took its place among Europe’s largest
and most influential practices. In 2002, in the wake of the disappearance
of the Andersen Worldwide network, Garrigues opted to continue as an
independent concern and embarked on a new phase, marked by the
business-first approach and global vision that have made the Firm the
market leader.
At present, our team is made up of more than 2,000 people and offers
advice the world over on the whole range of business law-related
matters.
