Commended for its ‘availability, pragmatic approach and knowledge of the sector’, Baker McKenzie’s team is well placed to advise issuers, managers and financial entities on debt issuances, commercial paper programmes, and refinancings. The group is co-led by Fernando Torrente, a seasoned practitioner who now oversees the Madrid-based capital markets and M&A teams following his mid-2023 move from A&O Shearman. Another key figure is Carlos Martín, who brings extensive experience in M&A, ECM, and DCM transactions.
