Cuatrecasas is a law firm present in 12 countries with a strong focus on Spain, Portugal and Latin America. Its headquarters are located in Barcelona, Madrid and Lisbon. Cuatrecasas covers the Iberian Peninsula with 16 offices, and has 11 offices in the main financial centers of Europe, America, Africa and Asia.

The firm is advising investors in around seven Energy Charter Treaty cases relating to those reforms, with a combined value of around €1.7 billion, including the first ICSID claim ever brought by a Japanese investor
