Highly regarded for its ‘expertise, proactivity, and approachability’, Pérez-Llorca is one of the preeminent firms in Spain for venture capital. The practice is home to an experienced team capable of advising on the gamut of matters, including fund formation, funding rounds, and venture debt investments, as well as growth investment rounds, shareholders’ agreements, and regulatory compliance. At the helm of the department is Pedro Fernández, who is regularly consulted by venture capital funds and technology start-ups for assistance with re-domiciliation processes, investment rounds, and general advisory mandates. His deep knowledge of the US market also makes him the go-to for cross-border deals. Fernández is supported by Noemi Marqués de Magallanes, María Rodríguez, and Ignacio Carnero, all of whom are adept at handling venture capital transactions. Beatriz Castilla is another key practitioner in the team.
