New leadership at Uría Menéndez

Salvador Sánchez-Terán and Antonio Herrera appointed senior partner and managing partner.

June 30, 2025

At the General Partners Meeting today, Uría Menéndez’s partners have decided to appoint  Salvador Sánchez-Terán as the firm’s senior partner and Antonio Herrera as the managing partner. Both appointments will take effect on 1 January 2026. Jesús Remón, who is currently the firm’s senior partner, will remain associated with the firm as partner emeritus.

Following two terms as managing partner, during which time he has succeeded in further strengthening the firm’s position in the Iberian market, Salvador Sánchez-Terán will become the firm’s new senior partner. “It has been a real privilege to share the firm’s leadership with Jesús; his example will continue to serve as a benchmark for me and my colleagues” said Salvador.

Antonio Herrera joined Uría Menéndez in 1998 and has been a partner since 2007. He began his career in Madrid, later headed the New York office and subsequently spent over a decade in charge of the Barcelona office. Since July 2024, he leads the Corporate Law Practice. His professional expertise includes M&A transactions, corporate governance, structured finance and advising start-ups. He has also been a professor at ESADE Law School for over ten years.

“I am grateful to my partners for their trust in me to take on this responsibility; it is an honour and a challenge that I embrace with great enthusiasm. I intend to build on the achievements of both Salvador and my predecessors, while continuing to develop Uría Menéndez in accordance with the principles that have always defined our firm: legal and ethical rigour, client dedication, commitment to internal talent and social responsibility”, said Antonio.

Following a distinguished career as a partner, Jesús Remón – who will remain at the firm as partner emeritus – stated that these appointments reflect “the continuity of our model, with a focus on long-term planning and generational renewal.” He also thanked the firm and its members for their unwavering support, and for giving him the opportunity to be part of this collective project.
