Broseta Abogados also has extensive experience in Mergers and Acquisitions operations, advising both Spanish and multinational clients on all kinds of operations involving to acquisition of majority or minority interest shares in Spanish companies. In this area, our lawyers are familiar with the design of the legal and tax structures that are most appropriate for each particular case, producing reports of legal and fiscal due diligence, working as a team with brokers and auditors, and negotiating agreements between shareholders.

Our services in this area also include the drafting and negotiation of commercial contracts, particularly commercial distribution (agency, franchise, distribution, etc.), sales and supply contracts, in conjunction with the corresponding guarantee mechanisms.

Our commercial department also advises our clients on patent rights matters, primarily in connection with trademarks and industrial design. Its services in this area include the definition of trademark and design protection policies, the legal assessment of possible violations and implementation of appropriate legal measures.

Ever loyal to its traditional link with university circles, Broseta Abogados works with Mr. Fernando Martínez Sanz, professor in Commercial Law at Jaume I University in Castellón, in the different issues covered in this area. Reports and opinions have been issued on the most important questions that have been posed by the approval of new legal regulations or in relation with our participation in complex partnership operations or contract issues.

Professor Martínez Sanz is also responsible for updating the Professor Broseta Pont Manual de Derecho Mercantil (Manual of Commercial Law), one of the most prestigious legal manuals in academic and professional circles.
