His arrival will give both our corporate law practice and our Spanish-speaking practice a major boost. Appointing Paul underlines our ambition to offer our clients the highest quality and service in both national and international matters."

“I was already familiar with BUREN from various matters in which we have worked together. Our click, the firms’ ambitions and client focus we share have been important motives for me to join BUREN. I know BUREN as an international multidisciplinary firm with the highest level of service. My international M&A and litigation practice fits in seamlessly with BUREN. I am looking forward to contributing to the further expansion of this firm that already has a rich tradition.”, says Paul Josephus Jitta.
