Irian Saleta Martínez
Ashurst LLPLed by derivatives and structured products expert Irian Saleta Martínez, the ‘well-trained’ capital markets team at Ashurst LLP provides advice on the gamut of transactional, advisory, and regulatory derivatives matters. With an increasing focus on the ESG and green sectors, the team is often retained by large Spanish banks in relation to the implementation of trading platforms for regulated emissions allowances and voluntary carbon credits. In addition, the firm is one of the first ports of call for advice on Spanish-governed master agreements for financial transactions (CMOF), and is also well placed to assist with deal-contingent swaps, synthetic power-purchase agreements and equity derivatives.
