· SPECIALIZATION in the sector in which the client operates.

· EXPERIENCE: guarantee of more than twenty years accumulating experience in similar transactions and matters.

· PARTNER-TIME: real dedication and high level of partners’ involvement in all transactions and matters.

· COST EFFICIENCY: the fact that we are both a Spanish and independent firm together with having a contained structure, allows us not to have to pass on to the client the exorbitant costs of maintaining big firms as well as establishing a policy of national and reasonable costs. We are not the cheapest, but we offer the best relation quality, experience and professionals in terms of cost efficiency.

· INTERNATIONAL CAPACITY: during many years we have developed close ties and relationships on a non-exclusive basis with prestigious foreign law firms which enable us to offer our clients full international capacity. We are not members of any law firm networks, so we are free to choose the foreign law firm which is best suited to the work to be carried out. This allows us to make always the best choices, having as a result an excellent global advice, collaborating with the best local teams.

We advise numerous leading private equity funds, both Spanish and foreign, alongside which we have continued growing over the past years. Their continued loyalty is our greatest success.

International capacity: Our firm has a strong international-oriented practice, so we work with numerous foreign funds with interests in Spain.
