In addition, the department frequently works closely with the tax team on related issues. The practice is co-headed by managing partner Enrique De Marchena, a go-to name for foreign investment and for advising international clients in the tourism sector (including major players such as Marriott International), and Patricia Read, who specialises in corporate finance and company incorporations and restructurings.
