Top Capital Markets Legal Dealmakers in Spain

-

Legal Dealmaker is honoured to present its list of the Top Capital Markets Legal Dealmakers, a selection of 65 lawyers in alphabetical order in Spain´s private practice. Our study, based on publicly available information, includes Financial Markets lawyers who have been selected for their expertise and experience in a wide range of Capital Markets matters, handling relevant deals dealing with Equity and Debt Capital Markets, Securitisations, Capital Increases, Bonds and Commercial Paper Programmes, public takeover bids and IPOs and listings on both national and international stock exchanges. They all stand out for their market-leading practice, either with a long track history record of advising on landmark Capital Markets operations or having been really active on recent Capital Markets deals, including admissions on MARF and AIAF, IPOs and delistings from a law firm in Spain. Some of them are even experts in specific or innovative transactions, like Green Bonds, Hybrid Bonds, Convertible Bonds, High Yield transactions, International Capital Markets, Digital Bonds, SEC and 144A/Reg. S, etc.

Many of them are veterans and longtime recognised Capital Markets lawyers by renowned international Legal directories (Chambers & Partners, Legal500, Best Lawyers, IFLR1000, WWL…), who have advised deal managers, underwriters and issuers on landmark transactions in Spain. They either advise from a dedicated Capital Markets practice or act from a Financial Markets or Banking & Finance practice, along with their expertise in other Financing matters. Academic experience in the field has also been one of the factors for the inclusion of lawyers on this list.

The list is mostly focused on partner-level practitioners, but some mid-level lawyers have been recognised for their ample experience and leadership on relevant deals on their (possible) path to partnership.

As with every recognition list, it cannot include all the best lawyers and as many women as we would like to include, but this media can attest that the ones included here are part of the best Capital Markets Legal Dealmakers in Spain.

Congratulations to all of them!
