It's been a full year since Grant Thornton Canarias sealed its codeshare partnership with the veteran firm Constantino 13 Asesores, one of the archipelago's most prestigious legal and tax advisory firms, with a special focus on southern Gran Canaria since 1980, and Aguilar Abogados, in the social and labor field. Beginning in 2024, this collaboration reinforces Grant Thornton's commitment to the economic and business development of the area and consolidates its position as a strategic partner for local companies. This partnership largely provides coverage to investors based in the Nordic market, Germany, the United Kingdom, Austria, and the Netherlands with interests in southern Gran Canaria, where Grant Thornton has long-standing coverage.
Founded in the early 1980s by Atilio Rodríguez Beltrá and Francisco L. González Jaber, currently the firm's managing partners, Constantino 13 has offered comprehensive economic, legal, and tax advisory services, adapting to the complex and evolving tax legislation in southern Gran Canaria. Aguilar Abogados, founded in 1989 by Francisco Aguilar and José Losada, provides extensive experience in labor and employment consulting, both preventive and in the resolution of judicial and extrajudicial disputes.
A year ago, Ramón Galcerán, Chairman of Grant Thornton, emphasized that the firm's presence in the Canary Islands represents a firm and strategic commitment: "Our commitment is unequivocal. We have built a solid and ambitious project with a clear vision for the future and growth. We are here to stay and do so hand in hand with Canarian entrepreneurs." Galcerán also highlighted the addition of a high-caliber local team: "We have formed an exceptional foundation, with a team that fully shares Grant Thornton's values: agility, non-conformity, and closeness to the client."
These alliances with Constantino 13 in the tax and fiscal area, and Aguilar Abogados, specializing in labor law, with Grant Thornton's Atlantic network, which already includes Cuyás Abogados and Sorben Partners, have enabled European investors with interests in the south of Gran Canaria to establish a turnkey, next-generation professional services firm with a presence in key areas such as tax, labor, economics, and law, consolidating Grant Thornton Canarias as one of the leading organizations in the tourism sector in Europe. Thus, Grant Thornton Canarias has strengthened its capacity to respond to the challenges of an increasingly complex business environment, combining the firm's international reach with its in-depth knowledge of the local market, which generates value and mitigates risks in an increasingly challenging business environment.
