In his professional activity he has participated in highly complex transactions, including among others:

- Planning and execution of reorganisation and integration of companies and groups, mergers and splits;

- Project finance transactions, including particularly in the energy and infrastructure sectors;
- Bank debt restructuring transactions with the entry of new investors or divestment of assets;
- Regular and ongoing advice to companies on corporate governance and corporate law. He also acts as Secretary non-director of the board of directors of several companies in different sectors;

In terms of specialisation by industry, although Guillermo has advised on transactions in a multitude of sectors (e.g. real estate, construction, chemical industry, Oil & Gas, media and audiovisual, healthcare, automotive and financial, among others), it is worth highlighting his extensive experience in the tourism industry, where Guillermo acts as legal advisor to the main tourism groups based in the Canary Islands, advising them on the most notable transactions involving the acquisition and sale of hotel assets in the Canary Islands.
