Rafael Fontana is New Cuatrecasas Honorary Chair

The partners at Cuatrecasas have appointed Rafael Fontana honorary chair, recognizing his career at the firm spanning over 40 years, 22 of which he has spent at the helm of its management team. The announcement was made during the Partners Meeting, where the partners thanked Fontana, acknowledging his work and enormous contribution to the firm’s development. Fontana joins Emilio Cuatrecasas, who has held the title of honorary chair since 2016.

Last April, the firm appointed Javier Fontcuberta managing partner and CEO, and is now continuing with the succession processes for its governing bodies announced at that time. On December 31, Fontana will conclude his time as Cuatrecasas’s senior partner and, in the new year, Luis Pérez de Ayala (partner and current vice chair) will take over the role and duties that Fontana has been performing until now.
