Garrigues

Offering comprehensive expertise in lending and structured finance at both domestic and cross-border levels, Garrigues’ stronghold in Spain and established reputation among leading domestic banks, international financial institutions, and private equity funds make it a go-to destination for high-value financing transactions. The team’s key areas of focus include acquisition finance, direct lending, real estate finance, and ESG-linked transactions. The practice is jointly led by three partners: Gaspar Atienza, recognised for his work on large-scale corporate financings and direct lending; José Miguel Pinillos, who pairs deep expertise in Latin America with significant experience in financings and refinancings in the real estate and infrastructure sectors; and Marcos Botella. Gonzalo Rivera is noted for his proficiency in acquisition finance, while Xabier Urtiaga brings substantial experience in corporate finance with an international edge.
