Madrid

The Hogan Lovells Madrid team takes a collaborative, business-minded approach to serving our clients. Our lawyers combine legal understanding, deep regulatory knowledge, and public affairs experience with local insight to address your most challenging issues. And we believe in providing honest and straightforward counsel.

We service a wide range of legal clientele, particularly in the energy, infrastructure, real estate, media and technology, insurance, and life sciences industries. Our lawyers and legal staff are also multilingual, conducting business in Spanish, English, German, French, Italian, and Dutch.

Our strategic relationships with Spanish and European authorities mean we understand the region and can liaise with the right institutions in the right way. This enhances our ability to provide our clients practical and timely advice.

We regularly advise Spanish and global companies on domestic and cross-border transactions, collaborating with Hogan Lovells teams from around the world. Recently we have advised on several deals involving Latin America, thanks to Madrid’s growing importance as a hub for European investors expanding to Latin America, and to the increase in Latin American companies entering the European market via Spain.

Public Procurement

We have a team specialized in public procurement, prepared to advise on any issue related to the preparation, award, effects, modification and termination of public sector contracts, as well as on operations of assets subject to public procurement.

We work for both private entities (bidders, successful bidders, contractors and subcontractors) and for the public sector. We offer comprehensive advice on public procurement.

We have extensive experience in public, administrative and private contracts, subject to general public procurement regulations, as well as in the excluded sectors of water, energy, transport and postal services, and in the fields of defence and security.

Our services include, among others: design of bidding procedures and drafting of specifications; special appeals and complaints in procurement matters; reports from the contracting authority and written submissions to special appeals and claims in procurement matters; representation before courts of all jurisdictional orders and instances in matters of public procurement; advice, supervision and monitoring in complex procurement procedures; advice on the preparation of bids and during the bidding and award period; accompaniment and advice in the phases of execution and termination of contracts (non-payment, contractual modifications, unjust enrichment, rebalancing, etc.); drafting of regulations related to public procurement in Spain and in other states; and advice on international public procurement.

Energy

In the Madrid office we have a multidisciplinary team that is highly specialised in energy matters. We know the challenges and challenges the energy sector faces and are prepared to help our clients navigate a complex and changing regulatory framework.

We advise the main players in the market, from producers to large consumers, including transporters, distributors, marketers and other companies participating in the energy sector value chain (construction companies, operation and maintenance companies, mining companies, investors and financiers, among others).
Our services in the field of energy regulation include, among others: advice on the processing of authorisations, permits, concessions and other enabling titles to carry out activities in the field of energy, dialogue with the main national and EU regulatory bodies and with the rest of the competent national, regional and local administrations, defence in administrative proceedings (inspections, sanctions, conflicts, settlements, etc.), promotion of legislative proposals and drafting of amendments, legal assistance in contentious-administrative proceedings in all instances, both against administrative acts and against general provisions such as, for example, orders to update remuneration parameters.

We also have extensive experience in M&A transactions with an energy component. Our services include, among others, the structuring of transactions, considering the main commercial, regulatory, financial and tax aspects of the energy sector; review of NDAs, NBO, BO; due diligence reports; negotiation and drafting of contracts (including, but not limited to, SPAs, JVAs, EPCs, MOs, and Management Agreements); advice on the different phases of pre-acquisition and post-integration; and the resolution of disputes between contractual parties.

The Madrid office has a team with a high specialization in contentious-administrative appeals. We defend our clients before all bodies and instances of the contentious-administrative jurisdiction.

We have extensive and accredited experience before courts and tribunals of any instance of the contentious-administrative jurisdiction: Courts, Central Courts, High Courts of Justice of the Autonomous Communities, National Court and Supreme Court. We also have experience before the Constitutional Court and the Court of Justice of the European Union.
