Governance & Compliance

Governance that enables responsible leadership, credibility and sustainable performance.

Corporate Governance

Sound corporate governance is the foundation of credible and sustainable leadership. We advise companies, boards and shareholders in complex corporate situations where structure, transparency and strategic alignment are essential.

Our work frequently involves advising on public offerings, IPOs, takeover bids, public tender offers, shareholder disputes and proxy contests, as well as the design of governance frameworks that balance shareholder rights, board responsibilities and long-term corporate strategy. We support our clients in building governance architectures that reinforce investor confidence, protect directors and ensure stability in moments of corporate transformation.

Regulatory & Compliance

Operating in regulated environments requires not only strict compliance with applicable rules, but also the ability to anticipate regulatory expectations and supervisory scrutiny. Our Regulatory & Compliance practice advises financial institutions and regulated entities on the legal and regulatory frameworks governing their activities.

Our team has extensive experience advising institutions supervised by the Banco de España, the Comisión Nacional del Mercado de Valores (CNMV) and the Dirección General de Seguros y Fondos de Pensiones (DGSFP), including credit institutions, listed companies, insurance undertakings, investment firms and asset managers. We assist clients in regulatory structuring, supervisory interactions, responses to information requests, inspection procedures and sanctioning processes, while closely monitoring regulatory developments at both the Spanish and European levels — including guidance issued by the ECB, EBA, ESMA and EIOPA — allowing our clients to anticipate regulatory change and adapt their operations accordingly.
