The team at Mañón Quintana Abogados is frequently instructed by a roster of international banks, financial institutions, insurers and insolvent companies – particularly in the life sciences and telecoms sectors. Practice co-heads Antonio Mañón, Gerardo Quintana Pineda and Ricardo García Cordero bring a wealth of bankruptcy, dispute resolution, insurance and financing experience to the table. A recent standout mandate saw the group represent Banco Sabadell in the negotiation of an out-of-court restructuring agreement, and in a related bankruptcy proceeding involving tire distributor Grupo Avante.
