“The lawyers were innovative and open-minded. They aligned with all different parties to guarantee the interests’ alignment.”

Chambers & Partners Europe

We advise issuers, shareholders, underwriters, investment services companies and investors in capital market transactions, both locally and internationally, on all types of securities (shares, hybrid products or additional tier 1 securities, promissory notes, convertible or exchangeable bonds, mortgage bonds, territorial bonds, structured bonds, warrants, project bonds, high yield or high yield bonds, among others).

We advise small and medium-sized companies in their first access to capital markets, whether equity (IPOs, incorporation to the alternative stock market -BME Growth-) or debt (AIAF, MARF or foreign markets such as Luxembourg, Vienna or Ireland).

We also advise companies listed on the Ibex-35, the continuous market or BME-Growth on financing operations, either through capital increases, equity lines or other types of operations such as scrip dividends or accelerated debt placements (US private placements). We also have privileged access to international markets (Euronext, Nasdaq, Eurostoxx 50, FTSE, Nikkei, Dow Jones, CAC, PSI-20) and therefore follow our clients beyond our borders.
