In recent years, Spain’s economy has gone from being one of the fastest growing economies in Europe to facing the effects of a global recession. Given the important challenges that we will be facing in the coming years and the delicate situation in general, our clients need to be able to count on reliable and commercial legal advice.

At the same time, Spain continues to be an important part of the world economy, as the fifth largest market in the EU and a hub for international trade with Spanish-speaking countries.

Dentons is ideally positioned to help clients deal with the complexities of the Spanish market – including litigation, commercial matters, restructuring, financing, tax and labour issues, insolvency proceedings and debt management and recovery, among others.
