Complex Corporate Matters and Restructuring and Insolvency

In addition to our dispute resolution practice, J. Almoguera Abogados is specialized in complex corporate matters and restructuring and insolvency.

We are deliberately smaller than most, if not all, of the law firms we regularly see across the table. But this is no barrier to the size and sophistication of the clients who place their considerable trust in us. In fact, we have adopted this model because we want to be their trusted and strategic legal adviser.

Our emphasis on senior lawyer involvement means that our skills are best suited towards complex corporate finance and restructuring and insolvency transactions where creativity, dedication and efficiency are more important than the size of the team involved.

If a matter requires specialist tax, labour, criminal or regulatory advice we can co-ordinate with comparable first-class boutiques with which we have strong and trusted relationships.

Given our decades of international experience, we are often called upon to provide a discrete second opinion on clients’ sensitive or complicated transactions or disputes.

Reflective of the success of our approach, since the launch of J. Almoguera Abogados we have assisted clients in some of Spain’s most sophisticated and ground-breaking transactions, including:

  • Counsel to the agent in the early termination of a syndicated loan, the exercise of a call option and the enforcement of certain guarantees and securities.
