The firm was ranked third in the total value of the transactions. It stands out for having advised on the two largest transactions carried out mainly in Spain this year.

In Portugal, Mergermarket ranks Cuatrecasas in second place on the list of law firms for transaction volume. Besides, the firm has participated in three of the six highest-value transactions carried out in the country.
Throughout 2021, Cuatrecasas in Latin America succeeded in maintaining its expansion strategy in the region, also increasing the number of complex crossborder transactions in which it participated. According to TTR, the firm scored second place for transaction volume in Chile, third in Peru, fifth in Colombia and sixth in Mexico. Regarding the total monetary value of these transactions, the firm ranks ninth, eleventh, fifth, and eighth, respectively.
