Part 1

Good morning. My name is Pablo García-Manzano. Firstly, I want to thank you all for giving me the opportunity to work in Ashurst and also for this promotion to partner. It’s truly very important to me, as well as very exciting to be here. I’ll start with a brief presentation of my professional career. I must begin by saying that from a very young age, I was immersed in the law as my father was a Spanish Supreme Court and a Constitutional Court judge. I have witnessed and heard talk of legal cases practically throughout my entire life. I studied a degree in Law at the Complutense University of Madrid (a voluntary decision, in spite of everything), which at that time was the most prestigious University in Spain.
