Cuatrecasas is routinely sought out by a litany of Spanish and international corporates across the retail, consumer goods, life sciences, insurance, industrial and energy sectors. The practice has continued to concentrate its position as an adviser in high-end domestic and cross-border M&A, benefitting from its strong network of offices stretching across Latin America, New York and London. The department is under the joint leadership of Alejandro Payá, who regularly advises on M&A deals, joint ventures and strategic alliances in the financial services, infrastructure and life sciences segments, and José Luis Rodríguez, a reference for domestic and multijurisdictional acquisitions and corporate restructurings. Javier Villasante focuses on M&A and PE matters, while Javier Martí-Fluxá maintains a broad practice covering M&A, joint ventures, ECM deals and takeover bids.
