At the forefront of the ECM space in Spain, Linklaters continues to act for banks, corporates and sponsors in the largest equity offerings in the country. Recently, the firm played a central role in Puig’s landmark IPO, the largest in Europe in 2024, further cementing its reputation for handling complex and high-profile deals. Its broad service also covers rights issues, accelerated bookbuilt offers, block trades and hybrid issuances, as well as regulatory capital and liability management matters. Offering a wealth of experience across equity deals, securitisations, debt issues and liability management transactions, Jorge Alegre is a key contact for both financial institutions and corporates. English law partner Federico Briano focuses on both debt and equity offerings, while Pablo Medina, noted for his extensive experience in ECM, DCM, M&A, financing and fund-related work, excels in multi-practice transactions. Other prominent figures in the team include Juan María Lamo and Pablo Ruiz de Assin. Iñigo Berricano left the firm in September 2024.
