How do you approach managing legal aspects during periods of instability or crises, and how does your legal strategy align with the broader business strategy to ensure the organization’s resilience?

In moments of instability or crisis, I focus on keeping our approach clear and practical. My approach is built on three pillars: anticipating risks, being agile in our responses, and staying closely aligned with the company’s strategic goals and priorities. Anticipation comes from constantly monitoring changes in regulation, markets, and geopolitics, so we are never caught off guard. Agility is about having clear protocols and trust within the team to provide quick and actionable solutions that allow the business to move forward without unnecessary delays. And alignment ensures that our legal advice is never isolated, we make sure our recommendations support operations, protect financial stability, and safeguard the company’s reputation.

In my view, true resilience comes when legal strategies go beyond compliance and actively help the business adapt, protect value and find opportunities even in challenging environments.

What are the major cases or transactions you have been involved in recently?

Over the past years, I’ve been fortunate to be involved in several transformative projects for Grupo Lamosa. One of the most significant was the acquisition of Baldocer, a Spanish ceramic tile company. The deal, structured in multiple stages and supported by international financing, required navigating shareholder approvals and complex contractual negotiations. Beyond the legal challenges, it was rewarding to see how the transaction expanded our footprint in Europe and reinforced our presence in premium product segments worldwide.

I also supported a major debt refinancing, which successfully extended the company’s maturity profile and reduced short-term amortizations. From the legal side, this meant negotiating terms and covenants that provided greater flexibility and financial stability to sustain growth.

In addition, I advised on a sustainability-linked credit facility, incorporating ESG commitments into financing. This project was particularly meaningful as it reflects how legal work can actively contribute to the company’s long-term strategy of sustainable growth and responsible business practices.

Together, these transactions demonstrate how the legal function can act as both a safeguard and a driver of strategic transformation.
