My guest today is Isabel Rodriquez, Partner at King & Wood Mallesons:

Isabel is the head of the Investment Funds team at King & Wood and the preeminent attorney in Spain for all things venture capital.  She advises LPs and GPs in structuring and establishment of domestic and international investment funds (including venture capital), secondary transactions, carried interest arrangements, co-investment plans and other related transactions such as restructuring of funds or creation of special purposes vehicles for investment into private equity.  

Isabel shares her expert perspective on the challenge for Spanish venture firms raising capital from international investors.  We cover:

  • History of regulation in Spain
  • Typical fund structures for VC and PE in Spain
  • Tax considerations
  • Compliance costs for local VCs

This conversation solves a riddle for me in this inquiry - there are added costs and complexities for Spanish GPs, but not from the side of Spanish regulation.   Enjoy this conversation with Isabel.
