Juan Ferré has represented creditors, debtors, directors, shareholders, and distressed investors in some of the largest and more complex restructurings and insolvency proceedings in Spain in the gaming, aviation, manufacturing, automotive, real estate, and construction sectors.
Some of Juan's recent experience includes advising a group of shareholders and directors in litigation, arbitration, corporate governance, and restructuring matters related to Codere, a Spanish-listed gaming company; representing a U.S.-based aluminum company with respect to a troubled Spanish subsidiary; acting for the board of directors of a Spanish airline in connection with the restructuring of its financial indebtedness; and assisting a group of junior lenders in relation to the debt restructuring of a large Spanish-headquartered steel manufacturer.
Prior to joining Jones Day, Juan acted as insolvency officer of more than 100 companies operating in a variety of sectors, such as construction, real estate, automotive, retail, health care, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, and renewable energy.
For more than 12 years he was an adjunct professor of commercial and insolvency law at the University of Barcelona, where he earned a Ph.D with a thesis on equitable subordination of claims. He also served as a member of the expert group advising the European Commission on the reform of the European Insolvency Regulation.
