About

Provided by Baker McKenzie

Baker McKenzie's real estate team in Spain is one of the most comprehensive Real Estate practices in the country. The Firm is able to take advantage of its two offices (Madrid and Barcelona) to help clients across a range of industries including retail, finance, healthcare and hotels, which are particularly active and interested in Spain's real estate market.

We are renowned for our transactional work, mainly related to hotels, offices, retail and healthcare assets (including hospitals and elderly homes), and for advising both lessees of real estate properties, as well as international funds and banks on real estate financing deals. We are also very experienced with large construction projects. These factors help demonstrate the Spanish Real Estate practice's appeal to clients across a number of key industry sectors.

The Firm has an active and well-known presence in the real estate market in Spain. This reputation is key, given the current appetite from both international and domestic clients for Spain's real estate market. 

Baker McKenzie is also known for its strong planning regulatory expertise. This is something that distinguishes the Firm from its competitors in real estate, as not all firms have the relevant capacity and experience to conduct due diligence in complex real estate related regulatory matters, or to look at license permissions of large real estate construction projects.
