PFS Legal completes Management Buyout from PFSTECH

PFS Legal has finalized its full separation from PFSTECH through a Management Buyout (MBO) led by its executive team: José Manuel Jiménez, Raimo Kesti, and Isabel García. The three executives now become equity partners of the firm, which will operate as a fully independent entity going forward.

The deal concludes a process that began more than two years ago, during which both companies had already been working with distinct strategies and organizational structures. Backed by the management team’s investment and with support from entities such as Santander Smart, the transaction marks a significant turning point in the trajectory of both firms.

PFS Legal Retains the PFS Brand

As part of the agreement, PFS Legal secures exclusive rights to the PFS brand, which it will continue using as its legal market identity. PFSTECH, in contrast, will undergo a full rebranding and product repositioning throughout 2025, aligning more closely with its international and technology-driven profile.

PFS Legal now strengthens its standing as a leading provider of legal services in Spain, particularly for corporations and financial institutions. The firm is recognized for its litigation expertise and for managing client relationships with the judiciary. Entering this new stage, PFS Legal aims to leverage its expert legal team to drive innovation in legal services, expand into new sectors, and advance the development of data-driven, automated, and AI-powered legal solutions.

Meanwhile, PFSTECH begins a new chapter as a standalone technology firm with its own corporate identity, a scalable SaaS model, and operations across 27 countries. With a portfolio of more than 500 corporate clients and 5,000 SMEs, the company generates the majority of its revenue outside Spain.

PFSTECH’s leadership in Europe and Latin America in credit-cycle technology solutions is further reinforced by recent integrations, part of a broader plan to unify its global brand and product offering.
