A ’go-to for financing transactions in Spain‘, the team is adept at handling innovative and high-value banking and finance matters, ranging from syndicated lending to asset finance, project and real estate financings, debt restructurings and refinancing mandates, on behalf of lenders and borrowers. Commercial and investment banks, corporates, sponsors and funds regularly turn to the team for assistance with sophisticated, cross-border matters, benefitting from the firm’s UK and US law capabilities.
