Cuatrecasas is to transfer two Barcelona-based partners to its New York branch after the
decision of current sole US partner Javier Villasante to move back to the Spanish leader's Madrid base. Corporate partner Victor Xercavins and tax partner Javier Asensio take over the management of the firm's five-lawyer New York arm from 1 July. "We tend to move partners around every few years," said a Cuatrecasas spokesperson.
