EJASO strengthens its positioning in the energy sector with the appointment of Ignacio Blanco Pérez as a partner in the Corporate department at its Madrid office. The lawyer joins the firm from Andersen in Spain, where since November 2019 he served as Director in the Corporate Department, leading strategic transactions in the renewable energy space.
This hire reflects EJASO’s commitment to consolidating its corporate practice in one of the sectors that has seen the greatest investment dynamism and regulatory transformation in recent years: energy.
Ignacio Blanco has extensive experience in M&A and private equity transactions involving wind and solar assets, hydrogen projects, and energy storage systems, with deal experience across Spain, Colombia, Greece, Costa Rica, Cuba, Italy, Mexico, Brazil, Panama, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
His practice also includes the negotiation of EPC and O&M contracts, as well as the financing and refinancing of renewable energy projects under Project Finance structures. He brings significant experience advising developers, financial institutions, investment funds, and institutional investors.
EJASO highlights the strategic nature of this appointment:
“The arrival of Ignacio represents a qualitative leap in our corporate practice linked to the energy sector. We are bringing in a profile with direct experience in large-scale international transactions and a deep understanding of the renewable energy value chain. The energy sector is a priority for the firm, and this move strengthens our ability to support investors, developers, and financiers throughout all phases of a project,” says Manuel González Haba, Board Member at EJASO.
For his part, Ignacio Blanco Pérez underscores the strength of the firm’s project and its growth ambition:
“EJASO is developing a clear growth strategy in strategic sectors such as energy, combining technical specialization with an international outlook. The firm has an agile structure, highly qualified teams—particularly in Public Law and Regulated Sectors, where Mario Saez plays a key role—and a real capacity to support complex transactions from start to finish. Joining this project is an opportunity to continue driving a corporate practice specialized in renewables, increasingly cross-disciplinary and sophisticated, in a context where new challenges arise every day, requiring fully tailored advice depending on the characteristics of each project and client,” he notes.
With this move, EJASO continues to reinforce its commitment to attracting senior talent with specific sector expertise, consolidating its presence in M&A transactions, structured finance, and energy project development in an increasingly competitive and globalized environment
