Hewitsons LLP (England) were instructed by a longstanding client in relation to the assignment to him of a debt owed to a Spanish company.   In pursuing payment of the debt, it was necessary investigate points of Spanish law and Hewitsons LLP contacted Ricard Gené at Venture Garcés & López-Ibor (Spain).    Ricard promptly provided comprehensive and practical advice concerning the registration of company names and the authority of directors in Spain.     This advice was invaluable in moving the matter forward and enabling the client to recover the sums due to him, and was appreciated by both the client and the team at Hewitsons.
