International funds, financial investors and major listed companies routinely turn to Pérez-Llorca for advice on high-end public and private M&A transactions. The team, which often collaborates with the firm’s regulatory, competition, litigation and tax specialists, is also well placed to handle joint ventures, venture capital matters and minority investments. Rated for its ‘high technical level’ and ‘commercial capacity in complex transactions’, the group is overseen by Javier Carvajal, who brings over two decades’ experience advising Spanish and international clients from the financial services, industrial, energy and infrastructure sectors. Pablo González Mosqueira is noted for his proficiency in cross-border matters and deals involving listed companies, while Julio Lujambio handles a mix of M&A and PE matters. With offices in Barcelona, London, New York, Brussels and Singapore, the firm is also particularly well positioned to handle transactions with ties to Latin America; Iván Delgado takes the lead on this type of work. Managing partner Pedro Pérez-Llorca is also part of the core corporate and M&A practice, as is Carmen Reyna.
