About

CECSE is the second largest group specialised in credit and surety in Spain and the fourth largest in the world. As director of legal since 2012 Jaime de Miguel Muñoz has revolutionised the in-house team of CESCE. He has introduced clear divisions between the legal activities on behalf of the Spanish state and the activity as private insurers in the international credit and bond insurance market. He created the compliance department and built close relations with the other departments to better support all company activities. CESCE is undergoing a privatisation process and de Miguel Muñoz’s role has been instrumental. He has led the legal team during preparation for the privatisation of the whole group, including seven insurance companies in Latin America and 12 services companies, some of which are Spanish and Portuguese market-leading companies (for example Informa D&B). De Miguel Muñoz has been directly involved in the financing and issuance of bonds and insurance for some of the greatest deals of the biggest international Spanish companies. Examples include the modification of the Panama Canal (by SACYR), the Train Mecca to Medina (by a consortium of Spanish builders and Talgo), and some of the largest project finance in the oil and refinery business in Turkey and Middle East (by companies such as Tecnicas Reunidas and Abengoa).
