Pérez-Llorca today announced the addition of Felipe Vázquez Acedo as a partner of its Insurance practice. Felipe has over 15 years of proven experience advising insurance and reinsurance companies and other financial sector institutions on the full spectrum of transactional and regulatory matters, including M&A transactions, bancassurance and assurbanking alliances, portfolio transfer and reinsurance transactions, throughout Europe and Latin America.
Felipe’s appointment is part of a period of rapid growth for Pérez-Llorca’s Insurance team. The firm has been firmly committed to the practice since Joaquín Ruiz Echauri joined in 2020 as the partner in charge of the practice area, and it has continued to grow with Rafael Fernández’s promotion to partner in 2024 and the expansion of the firm’s capabilities in Portugal through Inês Palma Ramalho.
“Felipe’s broad transactional skills and extensive regulatory knowledge, as well as his extensive industry experience, allow our already strong practice to reach a new level of sophistication. Felipe’s arrival further boosts our recent expansion in the area and reflects our commitment to providing a first-class service to our clients. We are delighted to welcome Felipe to the team,” says Joaquín Ruiz Echauri, partner in charge of the team.
Vázquez Acedo, who comes from an American-British law firm, holds a degree in Law and a Diploma in Business Studies from the Universidad Pontificia Comillas (ICADE), an Executive Master’s degree in Corporate Law from Centro de Estudios Garrigues and Harvard University, and has complemented his training with programmes at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and Georgetown University.
