‘Among the best law firms in Spain’ for capital markets matters, Linklaters manages a busy ECM workload where big-ticket IPOs feature alongside accelerated bookbuild offerings, rights issues, and capital increases. Capital markets group head Jorge Alegre brings together expertise in equity and debt offerings, and on the ECM side, has recently advised on a number of prospective IPOs. English law partner Federico Briano is particularly recommended for equity-linked transactions. Pablo Medina acts for sponsors, corporates, and investment banks in equity offerings and M&A deals with a capital markets component. Counsel Juan María Lamo is also part of the core capital markets team, assisting with both ECM and DCM matters. Former co-head Iñigo Berricano is no longer at the firm.
