Kuri Breña, Sánchez Ugarte y Aznar's ‘solutions-focused’ team is lauded for its ’commendable and exemplary’ client focus and specialises in a range of matters that include M&A, joint venture, private equity and venture capital, in addition to general corporate mandates. The group’s sectoral expertise takes in energy, banking, automotive, hospitality, manufacturing, and telecoms and it frequently counsels domestic and multinational companies, banks and SOFOMES.

Rodrigo López Márquez's experience encompasses general corporate law, M&A and financings, and he is lauded as ‘highly attentive to his clients and available to solve problems at short notice’. Silvia Ema Roldan was promoted to the partnership in July 2023; however, Álvaro Sarmiento Lapiedra left the firm in January 2024.
