EJASO continues to implement its growth strategy and the consolidation of key practice areas with the incorporation of Héctor Pérez Tapia as Partner in the Tax practice at the Madrid office. He joins the firm from Selier Abogados, where he previously served as Managing Partner of the Tax Department.
The move also represents a team hire, as David Pérez Francisco joins EJASO alongside Pérez Tapia, integrating into the Tax practice as Principal Associate and immediately reinforcing the firm’s capacity to deliver high‑complexity tax advisory services.
Héctor Pérez Tapia has extensive experience in global, financial and tax planning for private banking clients, with a particular focus on High Net-Worth Individuals (HNWIs) and Ultra High Net-Worth Individuals (UHNWIs). His professional practice also covers M&A transactions, tax planning, project finance and real estate tax, areas in which he has provided recurring advice on structures and transactions.
In parallel, Pérez Tapia currently serves as Director, Secretary of the Board of Directors and General Counsel of CORECAPITAL FINANZAS, AV, S.A.U., an entity regulated by the CNMV, further strengthening his cross‑disciplinary profile and deep understanding of the financial, regulatory and investment landscape.
His professional profile is complemented by significant academic and teaching activity at institutions such as Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos and Universidad Europea de Madrid, as well as frequent collaboration in leading legal‑tax seminars and forums organised by entities including the Asociación para el Progreso de la Dirección (APD) and AFI Escuela de Finanzas Aplicadas.
EJASO highlights the strategic nature of the appointment and its alignment with the firm’s development plan for the Tax practice.
“The arrival of Héctor and his team decisively strengthens our Tax practice at a key moment of growth. His experience in tax planning and in advising private wealth and family business groups fits perfectly with the evolution of our client base. Furthermore, this incorporation aligns with EJASO’s national and international projection in transactional and corporate reorganisation matters,” the firm’s management notes.
For his part, Héctor Pérez Tapia emphasises the coherence between his professional trajectory and the firm’s vision:
“My decision to join EJASO stems, first and foremost, from the high calibre of the professionals within the firm and the increasing recognition it is gaining in the market. Added to this is a very solid internal culture, where professionals are valued and a demanding yet deeply human working environment is fostered. All of this, combined with the firm’s commitment to delivering top‑tier advice to companies and family groups, is essential in an environment of increasing legal and tax complexity in Spain,” he states.
With these incorporations, EJASO strengthens its positioning in the legal market and consolidates its commitment to attracting senior talent with the capacity to support companies, family business groups and private wealth in an increasingly global and sophisticated environment.
