Spanish Broadcasting System has named Richard D. Lara as the company’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel. Lara will be tasked with all legal matters at SBS, including developing and implementing the company’s legal strategy. Previously, Lara practiced law at Mase Lara, P.A., a boutique trial law firm based in Miami, where he concentrated primarily on complex civil and commercial litigation. He frequently appeared on televised news programs to provide legal commentary. Lara will report directly to Raúl Alarcón, Chairman, CEO and President of SBS.
“Richard is a premier legal executive and will play a critical role on our leadership team and within the organization,” said Alarcón. “His expertise and leadership will benefit SBS given his deep industry experience and legal knowledge. We look forward to Richard’s many contributions as we continue executing our multi-platform strategy and positioning SBS for growth over the long term.”
“I am grateful and excited to join an organization that is dedicated to delivering leading news, entertainment, and information to diverse audiences through multiple platforms across the nation,” said Lara. “I look forward to working with the entire team at SBS to build upon the company’s history of success by developing strategic growth opportunities that will drive our business.”
