partners and focusing on their business success. Our commitment to clients has
been instrumental in achieving over
seventy years of continued achievements,” said
Arturo García-Solá, managing director of McConnell Valdés.
“Today, we
continue adapting this vision and our way of doing business as we move forward.
Opening the Miami office is a direct reflection of this philosophy,” he said.
