Corporate/M&A - Spain

Spotlight

What the Team is Known For

CMS leverages its longstanding role as governance adviser for major Spanish corporates to attract roles on high-profile M&A and restructuring mandates. Its capabilities extend to advising on high-end cross-border joint ventures. CMS is particularly popular among leading Spanish infrastructure, telecommunications and energy clients; the team also acts for important foreign corporates and private equity funds. The law firm maintains strong ties to the German market thanks to the reputations both of its European offices and of its experienced Madrid-based partners as well.

Foreign Desk

Luis Miguel de Dios heads the firm's German desk. Several German-speaking lawyers based in Spain regularly act on cross-border transactions between the two countries.
