“As a firm, we want to lead the global legal services market,” said Armando Albarrán, Partner in Charge of Gibson Dunn’s Madrid office, in an interview with Spanish national media outlet El Confidencial (subscription required).

In the interview about Gibson Dunn’s ambitions and reasons for opening a new office in Madrid, Armando said: “…there are a number of firms competing to establish themselves among that global elite. We want to be part of that global elite, which is why we’re expanding across Europe. We started in London, where we already have a strong presence. We also have offices in Germany, France, Switzerland, and Belgium. The goal is to support our clients by offering them a ‘premium’ service in each of those countries.”

Armando also discussed Spain’s transactional trends and prospects as well as the country’s economic importance in the EU, how the team in Madrid works with other teams at Gibson Dunn, such as London, and the role of AI in the legal sector.
