ONEtoONE Corporate Finance has acted as financial advisor to Grupo Afianza on its acquisition of M&P Ledesma Abogados, a leading Barcelona-based law firm specialising in banking law, financial law and asset recovery.

Founded in 2002, Grupo Afianza is Spain's leading fully Spanish-owned professional services firm for businesses. With more than 1,200 professionals and a client base exceeding 10,000 companies, the group offers a comprehensive range of services, including accounting, tax and labour advisory, legal services, audit, consulting, insurance, real estate, strategy and transactions.

Its legal division, Afianza Legal, generated revenues of €21.2 million in 2025, representing year-on-year growth of 73%, and employs more than 220 professionals. To date, Grupo Afianza has completed more than 66 strategic acquisitions of professional services firms, establishing itself as one of the leading consolidators in the Spanish market.

Founded by Pablo Ledesma and headquartered in Plaça Francesc Macià, Barcelona, M&P Ledesma Abogados is a highly specialised law firm with 167 qualified professionals. The firm generated revenues of €9 million in 2025, representing year-on-year growth of 55%.

M&P Ledesma Abogados focuses exclusively on banking and financial law, non-performing loan (NPL) portfolio management, large-scale judicial and out-of-court asset recovery, real estate owned (REO) asset management, and legal advisory services to financial institutions, investment funds and servicers.

The acquisition significantly strengthens Afianza Legal's nationwide presence in the banking and financial legal sector, creating a leading platform capable of serving investment funds, financial institutions and servicers on a large scale. The integration adds highly specialised capabilities in one of the fastest-growing segments of the Spanish legal market, further advancing Grupo Afianza's strategy of building a best-in-class, full-service professional services group.

The transaction was led by Fernando Lacaba and Ximena Fernández, Partners at ONEtoONE Corporate Finance Spain, once again demonstrating the firm's strong track record in successfully executing M&A transactions in the professional services and legal sectors.
