Last July, Cuatrecasas’s managing partner Jorge Badía died unexpectedly while cycling in Barcelona. In the wake of the tragedy, temporary managing partner Rafael Fontana approached corporate and M&A partner Javier Fontcuberta about taking the role. By Christmas, Fontcuberta was named Badía’s successor.
The new managing partner recently sat down with Law.com International in an exclusive interview—his first since taking the post—to discuss his appointment, following Badía’s footsteps, and the firm’s future.
