Overview

Our Spain lawyers advise clients on some of the most significant transactions in the European market, such as representing Fund for Orderly Bank Restructuring (FROB) and Catalunya Banc in the sale of its mortgage loan portfolio to Blackstone for €7 billion, the largest ever such transaction in Europe. We also advised Sareb, Spain's "bad bank," on structuring and executing its first sale of distressed assets to HIG Capital, and leading Spanish department store group El Corte Inglés on the €1 billion sale of 10% of its treasury stock to a company owned by Qatar's former prime minister.
