Cuatrecasas has confirmed the final list of 16 participants in the second edition of the Cuatrecasas Challenge.

The jury panel for this second edition of the Cuatrecasas Challenge is formed by four of the firm’s partners: Fedra Valencia (Restructuring, Insolvency and Special Situations), Meritxell Yus (Indirect Taxation/Real Estate and Town Planning), Almudena Batista (Labor and Employment) and Miguel Sánchez Monjo (Financial Services & Insurance/Funds), who will assess the applicants’ speaking and procedural strategy skills.

The competition will close on February 23 with the selection of the winning team and a team of runners-up. All four participants will receive financial aid toward a master for admission to the practice of law or a dual master’s degree program with a specialization, and the opportunity to carry out an internship in their practice area of preference at Cuatrecasas.
