He covers the whole spectrum of real estate products, from the most traditional transactions to real estate finance and distressed assets.

Adolfo has a varied client base, with particular experience acting for financial sponsors, institutional and private equity investors on investments in Spain. In recent years, Adolfo has become one of the most sought-after R&I advisers in what is considered a distressed market.

Adolfo is ranked by Chambers as a leading individual in Real Estate. He is described as "efficient, creative and has practical experience".

Not only he provided legal support and advice, but he played a key role in educating us and proposing solutions."
