About

Grupo Catalana Occidente is a leading company in the Spanish insurance and reinsurance sectors, offering health, home, life and motor insurance to millions of customers in dozens of countries and serving both retail and commercial clients. The legal team, led by Joaquín Guallar Pérez, was widely cited by private practice nominators specialising in the insurance sector. One nominator commented on the team’s ‘excellent knowledge of the market and ability to deal with a wide range of stakeholders’, while another praised Guallar Pérez for ‘skilfully managing the resources available to him internally and ensuring the team is able to deliver maximum value to the business’. More broadly, the legal team has contributed to Grupo Catalana Occidente’s strong balance sheets by allowing it to operate smoothly in a tough environment, particularly in the face of regulatory change affecting the insurance sector.
