In 2006, Chambers & Partners awarded Pérez-Llorca with the award ‘Iberian Law Firm of the Year’.
In 2013, Pérez-Llorca moved its Madrid office to the Castelar building, located on the Paseo de la Castellana. The following year, the Barcelona office moved to the Alta Diagonal building located on Avenida Diagonal.
In 2014, the Firm continued its expansion and opened its first overseas office in London, where it practises Spanish law. One year later, in 2015, Pérez-Llorca established a presence in New York. That same year, the directory Chambers & Partners presented the firm with the award for ‘Spain Client Service’.[3]

Pérez-Llorca/IE Chair
The Pérez-Llorca/IE Chair on Commercial Law is a top collaborative initiative launched by both a law firm and a university. The chair has been running since 2010, and was born of Pérez-Llorca and IE’s commitment to applied research and dissemination of information in the area of Commercial Law from the perspective of international legal practice.
The aim of the chair is to combine the knowledge, experience and capabilities of a law firm and a university, and to share research with companies and law schools through work and by means of the joint activities organised by IE Law School and Pérez-Llorca.
