The agreement was signed at a ceremony on 28 November at Iberdrola’s Madrid headquarters. Along with WFW, the participating law firms include Allen & Overy, Baker McKenzie, Broseta, Clifford Chance, CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo, Cuatrecasas, Garrigues, Hogan Lovells, Linklaters, Ontier, Pérez – Llorca, Uría Menéndez and White & Case.
