International transactions

Investments between Spain and the United States with a lawyer admitted in Madrid and in New York.

Investing in another country requires understanding two legal systems and two ways of negotiating. Pablo Gómez-Acebo Calonje is an Abogado in Madrid and an Attorney at Law in New York, so the client deals with one person on both sides of the Atlantic.

How we can help

  • Foreign companies and investors coming to Spain: investment structure, incorporation of companies and acquisitions.
  • Spanish companies setting up in the United States: subsidiaries, local partners and contracts.
  • Sales and purchases between parties from different countries, and coordination of the lawyers in each jurisdiction.
  • Political risk and guarantees for investments in emerging markets.

Where this experience comes from

Pablo began his career in Washington, as legal counsel at MIGA, the World Bank Group agency that guarantees international investments, and later led the political risk practice of a specialized firm. He knows how lenders, insurers and foreign counterparties think.
