RLD has a strong profile for mid-market M&A and strategic corporate transactions. The team is particularly active in advising founder-led businesses and corporate groups on acquisitions, disposals and expansion projects, with recent mandates demonstrating experience in multi-stage investment structures and acquisition programmes.

Managing partner and founder Rafael López-Diéguez Gamoneda remains a central figure in the practice, supported by a team that combines transactional execution with ongoing corporate advisory work. The firm's recent matters suggest particular strength in handling buy-and-build strategies involving multiple targets and complex commercial arrangements.

The team advised Credema Pet and its subsidiary Recordarte y Sonreír on a series of acquisitions in the animal cremation and incineration sector, including transactions featuring deferred and EBITDA-linked consideration mechanisms. RLD also advised Grupo Viamed on its acquisition of Lyx Urology, a transaction structured through phased ownership acquisitions. These matters reflect the firm's experience in delivering commercially focused M&A advice on growth-driven transactions.
