Experience
José Azqueta has 19 years of experience in M&A Tax teams. Over the years he has dedicated himself to “real assets”, such as those from the real estate and renewable energy sectors. His advice covers the transaction itself (structure, due diligence, tax modelling, etc.) in addition to ongoing advice and disinvestment processes, providing a complete picture of the whole deal.
In terms of the real estate sector that has emerged since the financial crisis, where SOCIMIs (Spanish REITs) and debt funds play a prominent role, he provides advice to new stakeholders in this sector such as funds, SOCIMIs and servicers.
