Innovation and Creativity

Since its foundation, SOCIOS has been recognised for innovation and creativity in a variety of significant and complex cross border transactions. These include the first ever «public to private» transaction in Spain (Parques Reunidos), the first ever successful contested takeover by a Spanish company abroad (Deep-Sea Leisure Plc), the first ever large–scale sale and lease back transaction (Accor/Deutsche Grundbesitz) and (at the time) the largest Secondary Buyout to be completed in Spain.
