A significant element of our practice focuses on single-country and multi-country real estate M&A transactions for a wide range of major institutional investors, developers, private equity houses and alternative lenders. The team provides top legal advice on acquisitions and disposals of individual assets, and portfolios of properties across virtually all industry sectors, including logistics, hotel, residential, student housing, office and retail. The team is driven by quality and difficulty, and not volume; and this why we have advised in the most challenging deals during the COVID crisis. We are commercially oriented business advisors who want to be "closers" of deals. In addition, and following their clients’ needs, the team is providing legal advice to investors and the local players in joint ventures within the logistic sector and is focused on challenging transactions involving the change of use of existing properties to start new projects. The needs of the Real Estate clients are changing, and the Spanish Real Estate team accompanies them in these challenging times..
