Linklaters‘ public law practice in Spain is noted for its ’technical and legal capabilities’ in both contentious and non-contentious matters. The team is skilled at handling transactional and regulatory work, as well as administrative litigation across sectors such as energy, telecoms, and oil and gas. The ‘exceptional’ José Giménez heads up the department, bringing extensive expertise in contentious, advisory, and regulatory matters, including judicial challenges, regulatory disputes, and concessions. Jorge Toral, who was promoted to counsel in May 2024, specialises in renewable energy project agreements and is highly skilled in public procurement and transactions involving regulated sectors. The team also benefits from the expertise of Rocío Beotas, who focuses on regulated sectors. Mario García is no longer at the firm.
