Experienced lawyers

The liberalisation of regulated sectors has triggered new business challenges and opportunities globally, sectors where antitrust issues are increasingly complex and can be critical to the success of our clients’ business. Understanding our clients’ strategy makes it possible to defend their interests in a better way. We have gained accredited experience representing local and international clients from almost all industries, in procedures before local and European authorities and courts regarding state aid, unfair competition, intellectual property, merger control, compliance and transaction support (contracts and licenses).

The financial market is continuously moving and our clients demand outstanding, imaginative and trusted advice. We are well known for our expertise in pioneering work in all fields of finance. Our lawyers are respected for advising on complex and groundbreaking transactions, under both Spanish and English law, and we are often considered the natural choice for cross-border financings. We advise in all areas related to financial regulation, securities market issues, complex transactions and sophisticated products and instruments to commercial and investment banks, investment firms, private equity fund managers, insurance and pension undertakings, equity investors and corporations on a full range of domestic and international finance transactions.

Our track record, experience, dedication and in-depth market knowledge have led us to gain a good reputation in the country and among our competitors. Our clients rely on us and we are chosen as their legal partner in the most challenging, high profile and significant transactions to carry out as we combine the highest quality technical expertise with the delivery of innovative solutions and commercial pragmatism. We advise companies on legal aspects that greatly impact their business, from establishment, financing and national or international expansion, to more specific transactions such as mergers, acquisitions, sales or restructuring finance.

We spend much of our time assisting our clients in trying to avoid disputes. Whatever the nature of the dispute, be it litigation or arbitration, our aim is to resolve it quickly, with as little disruption to our client’s business and as cost effectively and efficiently as possible. Our experience is focused on insolvency proceedings, enforcement of pledges, banking and finance litigation, commercial and criminal litigations, pre-litigations, dispute resolution and arbitrations. We advise local and international high-profile corporates and financial institutions with respect to disputes and deals involving a variety of industries including banking and finance, real estate, energy, telecommunications, insurance and consumer goods.

Public law constitutes an important area of legal work, as it defines and impacts on the structure of all transactions within the public sector. Our clients are public authorities, corporates, banks, public funded entities and utilities. We advise them on a full range of public procurement, public-private partnerships (PPP), concessions (including toll roads, water distribution, waste management, telecoms), public works, environmental issues and regulatory (especially in telecoms, media, TICs, energy, infrastructure, transport, mail services, insurance, health and pharmaceutical).
