Saba Infraestructuras

About

Saba Infraestructuras is a benchmark industrial operator in the development of solutions in the field of urban mobility, specialising in car park management. With a workforce of more than 2,300 people, the group operates in nine countries in Europe and Latin America and has around 378,000 parking spaces in 1,175 centres. Saba Infraestructuras was incorporated in 2011 after a spin-off process from Abertis Group. The legal department of Saba Infraestructuras, composed of 17 members, is in charge of a wide range of matters, including corporate governance and general secretary, corporate, M&A projects, public tender procedures, general legal assessment and non-personal insurances. The legal team has contributed largely to Saba’s various projects since its incorporation, including Aena, a public tender to manage the airport car parks in Spain, Adif, a public tender to manage the car parks placed in the train stations in Spain, and CPE, a M&A deal in Portugal double sizing Saba’s presence in the country, which represented an overall investment of around €550m. In the words of a nominator, ‘the legal team is present in all of the company projects and its participation is highly valued by the management’. The team is headed by Carlota Masdeu, serving as general secretary and legal director. In Spain the legal team has two managers: Conchi Muñoz, responsible for public tenders’ procedures and contracts, and Silvia Medina, covering corporate, M&A and non-personal insurances. The team in Portugal, Chile and Italy is managed by Natacha Ribeiro, Elisabeth Collins and Anna Ghergo. Recently the legal department has handled the acquisitions of 19 companies located in the UK, Germany, Slovakia and the Czech Republic from one of the largest car park operators in Europe. The transaction was closed in December 2018 and after which the number of parking spaces of Saba Infraestructuras has increased around 44%. In 2018 the team was involved in around 40 public tenders and 18 M&A projects, as well as helping the business to comply with the new GDPR. According to Masdeu, ‘our motto is to offer legal certainty by giving high quality advice and developing flexible solutions, taking the business’s needs into consideration’.
