About

A member of the IBEX 35 index, Abertis Infraestructuras is a Barcelona-headquartered market leader in the Spanish infrastructure sector, commanding a 2016 revenue figure of €4.94bn and has approximately 17,000 employees. With a headcount of around 15 lawyers, the legal team is described by one nominating source as being ‘key in all the processes and a very opinionated stakeholder sitting at the table from the very beginning of each operation’. Marta Casas, general counsel and compliance officer, has been praised for her ‘team building focus’, having created a market-leading team populated with individuals from top quality national and international law firms. Casas is known as being ‘one of the main drivers of the evident success of the team’ with relation to the company’s recent expansion. Over the last decade Abertis has been involved in an extremely demanding internationalisation process with particular focus on markets across the Latin American region, which has necessitated the team’s involvement in a ‘huge number’ of transactions and acquisitions. Also receiving praise is Daniel Ventín, the M&A and contracts director for Abertis, who possesses ‘excellent skills and a business approach absolutely key in the listed companies’ environment’.
