Our history<\/p>\n<\/h2>\r <\/div>\r

\r
\r \"historia\"\r <\/div>\r
\r
\r

The firm’s origins date back to 1955, almost two decades before its foundation, when\u00a0Armando Fern\u00e1ndez-Aramburu Le\u00f3n\u00a0<\/strong>(Seville, 1926-2015) and\u00a0Jos\u00e9 Luis Montero G\u00f3mez\u00a0<\/strong>(Salamanca, 1928 – Seville, 2000), met while working as civil servants at the Tax Office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife. There they forged a lasting relationship of deep friendship and mutual admiration which, among other fruits, would lead to the creation of the\u00a0MONTERO-ARAMBURU<\/strong>\u00a0law firm, many years later, when both were working in Seville.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Armando obtained his degree in Business Administration from the School of Commerce in Seville in 1945 and, after passing the competitive examination, joined the Corps of Tax Administrators in 1953. Between 1966 and 1971, Armando studied law on his own, combining his studies with his work and a family of five children.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Luis had graduated in Law from the University of Salamanca in 1949. As a civil servant in the Ministry of Finance, he began his administrative career in 1951 after passing the competitive examination for the Corps of Technicians in the Public Treasury Service. In 1954, after preparing for and passing the competitive examination for the Corps of Tax Inspectors in 1952, he joined the Tax Office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife.<\/p>\n

Jos\u00e9 Luis and Armando, after meeting in 1955 at the Tax Office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, finally ended up at the Tax Office in Seville in 1963 and 1967, respectively.<\/p>\n

After almost two decades in the civil service, the reunion of the two friends in Seville led them to consider applying for leave of absence, giving up the security and comforts provided by well-paid civil service positions, and founding a firm dedicated to legal and tax advice.<\/p>\n

And so, in December 1971, Jos\u00e9 Luis and Armando founded the firm that bears their surnames, a milestone that recently celebrated its fiftieth anniversary.<\/p>\n

After several years of sustained growth in terms of the number of professionals and areas of law covered, Montero-Aramburu experienced a significant quantitative leap with the incorporation, in the early 2000s, of its two offices in the Canary Islands: on the one hand, the office in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, through the acquisition of the firm owned by a former member,\u00a0Lorenzo Hern\u00e1ndez P\u00e9rez<\/strong>; on the other, the Las Palmas de Gran Canaria office, through the integration of the firm headed by\u00a0Enrique Montero G\u00f3mez,\u00a0<\/strong>Jos\u00e9 Luis’s brother.<\/p>\n

Given that these are the main historical background factors of Montero-Aramburu, which essentially define its philosophy, its current structure cannot be understood without mentioning the most important event in its history, in terms of scale and relevance: the incorporation of the G\u00f3mez-Villares Atencia (GVA) firm, another long-standing and prestigious Malaga-based firm, through a transaction completed in 2024 after three years of collaboration, which has given rise to the firm MONTERO ARAMBURU & GOMEZ-VILLARES ATENCIA that exists today.<\/p>\n

The history of GVA began in 1953, when\u00a0Manuel Atencia Garc\u00eda\u00a0<\/strong>(M\u00e1laga, 1925-2005) founded what would become one of the most established law firms in M\u00e1laga. In the 1980s, it welcomed the second generation of a family that had always been involved in M\u00e1laga society, consolidating a collective firm with prestige and a loyal clientele.<\/p>\n

For his part,\u00a0Ram\u00f3n G\u00f3mez-Villares\u00a0<\/strong>(M\u00e1laga 1948) founded a sole proprietorship in 1974 with a stable client base. In 1996, with the incorporation of his son Santiago, a period of growth began that led the firm to merge with the firm of Carlos \u00c1lvarez and open offices in Marbella, Torre del Mar, J\u00e1vea and Madrid.<\/p>\n

Finally, in 2011, the two family firms merged to create GOMEZ-VILLARES ATENCIA, a leading law firm in M\u00e1laga and its areas of influence.<\/p>\n

The integration of GVA gave rise to the current\u00a0MONTERO ARAMBURU & GOMEZ-VILLARES ATENCIA<\/strong>, the happy result of the union of two organisations of different sizes but with similar trajectories and values, recognised prestige and devotion to excellence, with a direct presence in a significant part of the national territory and comprehensive coverage of their clients’ needs.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r <\/div>\r \r READ MORE<\/span>\r <\/span>\r <\/a>\r <\/div>\r <\/div>\r <\/div>\r <\/div>\r <\/div>\r \r \r<\/div>\n\n\r\r
