Javier Hernández Galante

Javier has wide experience in Spanish, EU and international taxation of companies.

He has advised national and international clients on the tax aspects of large cross-border transactions, group restructurings, real estate transactions (FABs and SOCIMIs), indirect taxation, and international tax planning. He also has substantial experience in the prevention and resolution of tax disputes and in representing companies and individuals before the Spanish Tax Authorities and the Spanish and European Community courts disputes.

Javier led the tax advice on the first SOCIMI being listed in the MAB, the first FAB (an instrument to acquire assets from SAREB), and he is seen as a leader on Socimis market.

The combination of his practical approach and technical excellence (together with his economic background which helps him to understand the financial and economic needs of clients) have allowed the department to become the preferred tax firm for the structuring work of a number of foreign investors.
