Alfonso Bayona and Juan De Navasqüés specialise in corporate, M&A and project work, mainly advising national and international companies within the energy and infrastructure sector.
Commenting on his appointment, Hermenegildo said: "Spain is a very important player in the energy sector and will lead the development of energy and infrastructure projects in Europe in the coming months. We look forward to joining Pinsent Masons and its global team of industry experts to provide clients with quality, specialised legal advice.”
