Working across M&A and debt advisory, Fernando will support private equity clients across the investment lifecycle, from acquisition through to exit, focusing on creating value in every transaction.

Fernando joins from V4 Financial Partners, having previously worked at CaixaBank. Over the course of his career, he has advised funds and corporates across a wide range of transactions, building a strong track record in the market.

His arrival builds on the recent appointment of Narcís Francás and reflects the continued development of our advisory services in Spain.

Fernando de Lacalle commented:

“What stands out to me is the opportunity to work more closely with financial sponsors as their needs continue to evolve. I’m looking forward to strengthening relationships with investors and contributing to the continued development of the team in Spain.”
