Josep Galvez admitted as Freeman of the City of London
4-5 Gray’s Inn Square Chambers is proud to announce that Josep Galvez, Barrister, has been admitted as a Freeman of the City of London, the highest ceremonial distinction granted by the City of London Corporation (City Council) to individuals since 1237.
The Freedom of the City of London has historically been conferred upon individuals of exceptional achievement, including Sir Winston Churchill, Admiral Lord Nelson, or Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, among others.
Josep Galvez, a dual-qualified English Barrister and Spanish Abogado, was formally admitted at the Chamberlain’s Court at Guildhall, attended by prominent leaders of the arbitration and legal sectors.
Josep Gálvez is internationally recognised for his distinguished practice as counsel and arbitrator in high-value international arbitration and complex cross-border commercial litigation, particularly in disputes involving Latin America, Europe, and Asia. He is widely regarded as one of the most effective legal strategists for clients navigating disputes between civil law and common law jurisdictions.
A Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (FCIArb), Josep acts under all major institutional rules including ICSID, ICC, LCIA, UNCITRAL, and in multi-jurisdictional enforcement proceedings.
Clients consistently seek his expertise for matters involving investor-State arbitration, energy and infrastructure disputes, international trade and commodities, maritime disputes, and complex joint venture conflicts.
Josep combines the precision of the English Bar with an unrivalled understanding of Latin American and Asian legal cultures, offering unique cross-border insight and strategic excellence. His recent admission as Freeman of the City of London reinforces his commitment to serving clients at the highest level of legal and professional standards globally.
4-5 Gray’s Inn Square congratulates Josep on this outstanding milestone and remains proud to support his leading practice in international dispute resolution.
