Ramón y Cajal Abogados boasts 'a highly specialised team in equity capital markets' known for its deep understanding of 'the ins and outs of Spanish companies'. The team frequently advises issuers, including prominent IBEX 35 companies from various sectors, on a range of capital markets transactions such as admissions to trading, capital increases, and acquisitions of listed entities. Lucía García serves as the primary contact for ECM matters, while co-head Carlos Lao focuses mainly on debt offerings, but also brings extensive experience in representing issuers and underwriters in Spanish-listed offerings and IPOs.
