Pérez-Llorca continues to pursue its strategy of growing and strengthening its different practice areas with the arrival of Cristina Vidal as a new Financial Services partner in Madrid. Vidal, a renowned expert in financial regulation and securities markets, joins the firm in response to the growing demand for specialised advice from national and international clients in a context of increasing regulatory complexity.
Cristina Vidal, a state advocate on leave of absence, has been working in the sector for over 20 years and has extensive experience advising financial institutions, fund managers, insurance companies and companies in the FinTech sector on regulatory, compliance and corporate governance matters.
Pedro Pérez-Llorca, the firm’s senior partner, stated: “Cristina’s appointment at the firm reaffirms our commitment to talent and excellence. Her experience and in-depth knowledge of the financial sector will allow us to continue offering our clients the highest quality advice in an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.”
Cristina Vidal will form a team with partners Josefina García Pedroviejo in Spain and Inês Palma Ramalho in Portugal to guide financial institutions, fund managers, payment institutions and market infrastructure providers on their transactions and projects in the Iberian Peninsula.
