Latham’s Madrid office brings together an elite team of Spain’s top transactional and litigation lawyers, who advise the world’s leading private equity firms, investment funds, and multinationals.
Leveraging deep connections in Spain’s corporate, finance, and regulatory institutions as well as experience working across both sides of the Atlantic, we help clients realize opportunities in the Iberian Peninsula, Latin America, and beyond. As trusted advisors, we handle clients’ most complex and consequential transactions and their highest value disputes — particularly in the energy, infrastructure, life sciences, and real estate sectors.
Pro bono and community service are fundamental to our culture, including in Madrid, where we serve non-profits, NGOs, as well as diversity and social enterprises engaging in the areas of corporate and regulatory matters, and human rights. We are particularly engaged with the Fundación Pro Bono España, a Spanish foundation focused on developing pro bono engagement in Spain, in order to enable non-profits to thrive and achieve the greatest possible impact in our communities.
