Fernando Torrente
Baker McKenzieNoted for its ‘knowledge, experience, and professionalism’, Baker McKenzie’s capital markets team in Spain attracts instructions from a varied client roster comprised of issuers, managers, and financial entities. The group was reinforced by the July 2023 arrival of Fernando Torrente, a former A&O Shearman partner, who brings over three decades of experience in ECM matters, ranging from IPOs, to follow-on capital offerings, corporate governance, and public M&A. Carlos Martín, ‘a top-level professional with very high technical skills’ who was elevated to the partnership in the same month, is proficient in capital increases, IPOs, and M&A involving listed companies.
