Álvaro Mateo on M&A activity | El Confidencial
The macroeconomic uncertainty unleashed by Donald Trump with the announcement of massive tariffs and market volatility is already being felt in investment banking and M&A activity.
“Certain valuations are beginning to be questioned by investors, and access to and conditions for financing are becoming more complicated, generating a climate of caution and caution that is not conducive to market dynamism. It remains to be seen whether the announced measures will finally become effective and, if so, how long it will take to achieve a certain degree of stability in the markets. Until then, we can expect a slowdown in transactional activity, which will tend to take refuge in less exposed and more conservative sectors such as energy and infrastructure,” says Álvaro Mateo Sixto, partner and coordinator of Corporate and M&A.

A first ranking mortgage does not prevent a creditor from accelerating loan maturity due to debtor insolvency
If the creditor has a secured claim (even if the debt is covered by the "value of the security", i.e. the claim is in the money), the debtor cannot avoid the effects of the to-term forfeiture by appealing to the existence of that security because the guarantee referred to in Article 1129(1) of the Civil Code (avoiding to-term forfeiture) must then be another additional guarantee.
