Interpath kickstarts expansion into Spain with hire of launching team

Interpath has kickstarted its expansion into Spain with the hire of a four-person launching team – who all join from a Big Four firm. Offices in Madrid and Barcelona are in the makes.

Since its founding in 2021 in the UK, Interpath has been on a growth track, expanding to approximately 1,000 people based across 27 offices in nine countries. Hot on the heels of the firm’s expansion into Germany at the start of this year, Spain now becomes Interpath’s tenth market.

“We are delighted to launch our Spanish business and expand our footprint further across the continent, and more importantly, welcome some of Europe’s top advisory and restructuring professionals to the Interpath family,” said Mark Raddan, CEO of Interpath.

Brought in to lead the expansion in Spain is Gonzalo Montes Amayo, one of the country’s foremost restructuring and debt advisors. He was previously Head of Funding Advisory (comprising Restructuring and Debt Advisory) for KPMG in Spain, and over the course of his career, has advised upon some of the most significant and most complex debt restructurings and financings in the market.

Gonzalo is joined by a trio of experienced debt advisory and restructuring professionals who collectively bring decades of experience advising companies, their investors and their stakeholders on a range of transactions situations – Juan Jose Legarda, Jordi Castiñeira and Alfonso Parejo Yanguas. All four cross from KPMG.

Juan José Legarda, who will lead Interpath’s Debt Advisory team in Spain, brings extensive experience in supporting companies, shareholders, and financiers in complex financing and refinancing operations across sectors such as services, automotive, food, infrastructure, and consumer goods.

Jordi Castiñeira has advised on some of the largest debt restructurings in Catalonia, helping not only with the financial viability of companies, but also in the provision of operational and equity solutions through M&A processes. He is a specialist in transactions involving family-owned businesses of all sizes, where his broad expertise has positioned him as a trusted advisor to company owners and executives.

Alfonso Parejo Yanguas has a proven track record in complex financing and refinancing processes, having advised upon transactions totaling over €10 billion in debt.

In parallel with the senior hires, Interpath is setting up new offices in Madrid and Barcelona, with additional plans to expand into the city of Valencia in the near-term.
