The team is recognised as one of the most internationally equipped banking & finance practices in the country. We are well positioned to offer advice on domestic as well as cross-border matters. We are also leaders in the market in advising foreign producers and film financiers on a variety of legal issues that apply to film and TV productions in Europe, which has led us to establish a specific multidisciplinary film and TV team.

We have a fully dedicated Financial Services Regulatory team operating in Spain. The department covers the full range of financial services, including in particular, payment and e-money services, credit and forex, funds and asset management, insurance and fintech solutions.
