Rodrigo commented: “We are very pleased to have once again been able to help promote global sustainability initiatives both in the Spanish banking sector and beyond.

This transaction highlights WFW’s experience and expertise in advising blue-chip companies and financiers on major renewable energy and export transactions.”
