GA_P advises Stoneshield on the purchase of a student residence in Porto
20 de December, 2023
Gómez-Acebo & Pombo has advised Stoneshield -a leading real estate investment firm focused on the Iberian Peninsula- on the purchase from Nuveen of the entire shareholding of Studenthouse Rua Manuel Pereira, owner of a student residence located in the geographical area of the Asprela Campus in Porto, Portugal.
“In recent years, housing has proven to be the biggest obstacle for higher education students, and a particularly important constraint in major urban and university centres such as Lisbon, Porto or Coimbra,” says Mafalda Barreto. She adds: “With this investment, Stoneshield Capital will undoubtedly make an important contribution to help solve this problem”.
The transaction was supported by a multidisciplinary team, coordinated by Mafalda Barreto (Managing Partner and Partner of Corporate and M&A), and comprising: Susana Morgado (Senior Associate), Inês Soares de Melo and Matilde de Sousa Marto (Junior Associates) from Corporate and M&A; Sofia Rodrigues Nunes (Of Counsel), Afonso Scarpa and João Marques Rodrigues (Associates) from Urban Planning and Real Estate; Ana Paula Basílio and Catarina Rosa (Associates) from Tax; Cláudia Tomás Pedro (Senior Associate) for Intellectual Property; Filipe Santos Barata (Of Counsel) for Banking and Insurance Law; Joaquim Caimoto Duarte (Of Counsel) for Competition and EU Law; Pedro Vilarinho Pires (Of Counsel) and Francisca Esteves Moura (Junior Associate) for Data Protection; and Ana Baptista Borges (Associate) for Labour Law.

Resolved bank found liable as pledgee of third-party owned shares in the bank
The fiduciary nature of the managed investment relationship supports the view that the bank should be liable for the loss of the pledged item because there would not have been such loss had the client’s order been executed prior to the bank’s resolution — but not for the reason given in the judgment.

Derogations from the principle of supervision in the home Member State in respect of information society services and control over content by means of an algorithm
The Court (Grand Chamber) defines the scope of derogations from the principle of supervision in the home Member State for information society services on grounds of public policy, security and safety, clarifying the distinction between general prohibitions and individualized measures directed at specific providers. It also provides important criteria regarding the liability of digital platforms, holding that control exercised by means of algorithms may preclude the application of the exemption from liability provided for data hosting services.

New EU regulation on the screening of foreign investments
Regulation (EU) 2026/1386 establishes a harmonised and mandatory framework for the screening of foreign investments in the Union and replaces the previous Regulation (EU) 2019/452. Among its most notable new features are the obligation for all Member States to have a national screening mechanism with harmonised minimum requirements; the inclusion within its scope of investments made by European subsidiaries controlled by third-country investors; the implementation of a two-stage national procedure; and the strengthening of the European cooperation mechanism through a risk-screening system and a more stringent “comply or explain” principle.
Finally, the paper analyses the regulation’s impact on Spain, whose current review mechanism must be adapted in areas such as procedural structure, the review of completed transactions, sectoral expansion, and the penalty regime by 17 January 2028.
