Before committing capital
An investment can involve buying an asset, acquiring shares in a project company, subscribing for new equity or providing shareholder debt. The legal review starts with the proposed route, the parties involved, the development stage and the documents available. Its scope is agreed for the particular investment.
Legal due diligence and investment documents
The review can cover ownership and encumbrances, the project company and its liabilities, planning and project documentation, material contracts and existing financing. Transaction support can address conditions precedent, staged payments, use of funds, reporting, reserved matters, shareholder rights and arrangements for a future sale or refinancing.
What the engagement can deliver
Depending on the mandate: an executive risk map or due diligence report, a list of evidence still required, proposed protections in the investment documents, and a signing or completion checklist. Financial modelling, valuation and technical assessments are coordinated with the relevant advisers where needed.
Who I work with
Private investors, family offices, investment partners and businesses investing in Spanish development projects or real estate assets. Instructions can concern an initial investment, a joint venture, an additional funding round or an existing investment that needs legal review.
Common questions
Can you advise an investor based outside Spain?
Yes. I advise international clients investing in Spanish real estate. Working languages are English, Spanish, Russian and German. The agreed scope can include coordination with advisers in the investor’s home jurisdiction.
What should I send for an initial discussion?
Start with a non-confidential outline: the location and asset type, proposed investment route and amount, parties involved, project stage and next decision or payment date. Confidential documents follow after conflict checks and agreed arrangements.
