The professional services firm BDO is about to reinforce its Insolvency area in Barcelona with the incorporation of Agustí Bou, partner head of Fieldfisher JAUSAS Insolvency practice and former firm´s managing partner, who was replaced in April 2020 by Jordi Ruiz de Villa.

He is a member of the Insolvency Institute (III), Insol Europe, the International Bar Association, Insolvency Cooperation Partners (ICP), and the Spanish Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (ASCRIT), with which he collaborates on a regular basis on working sessions and initiatives to raise awareness of legislative developments in Commercial and Insolvency Law. He also regularly takes part in conferences and international meetings as a speaker.

Agustí Bou is also an expert in Mergers & Acquisitions and has led numerous Purchase & Sales transactions and other Restructuring operations for both Spanish and foreign clients.
