Spain > Banking and finance

Split between Madrid and Barcelona, Cuatrecasas is well placed to handle large financing transactions and high-profile banking matters in Iberia and Latin America, benefitting from its strong international network of offices. Typical engagements for the team, which has recently experienced an uptick in mandates related to sustainable and alternative financing, include refinancings, debt restructuring processes, acquisition and corporate finance, direct lending, as well as real estate and project financings. Its financial services regulatory capabilities, which cover the full range of financial products, banking and payment services regulations, and fintech issues, are also noteworthy. Íñigo Rubio showcases notable expertise in the financing of infrastructure and real estate projects; corporate and asset finance, as well as debt restructuring are other key areas of activity for the practice head. Jorge Canta takes the lead on financial services regulatory matters, which is also an area of expertise for Fernando Mínguez (currently on leave from his position as inspector of credit and savings institutions at the Bank of Spain). Miguel Sánchez Monjo is a key point of contact for domestic and international banks, credit institutions, investment firms, fintechs, funds and payment institutions, who rely on him for regulatory advice.
