With an excellent lender and borrower perspective of the market and relevant precedents, Uría Menéndez is often called upon to advise on landmark financings, including corporate lending, project finance, restructurings, asset deals and acquisition finance, to name a few. In addition to its strength in major transactions within the Iberian Peninsula, the firm is also well positioned to handle cross-border matters with ties to other European countries and Latin America.

These are also key areas of expertise for Carlos de Cárdenas Smith, who leads the corporate and commercial group. With strong credentials in project finance restructurings in the energy sector, Luis Jiménez advises lenders and borrowers in a variety of transactions, ranging from corporate lending to acquisition finance. José Félix Zaldívar de la Rica, the firm’s New York resident partner, is particularly active in financings within the energy, infrastructure and real estate sectors.
