Spain’s Cuatrecasas and ECIJA have added more muscle in Latin America, a region that’s driving significant revenue growth for both firms.

Cuatrecasas has recruited Michel Diban, a mergers and acquisitions veteran who has spent his entire career at leading Chilean corporate firm Morales & Besa in Santiago, Chile, while also bringing on board Jaime Vargas, who most recently led tax markets for northern Latin America at EY, in Bogotá.
