Co-managing partner of Osborne Clarke Spain, Member of Osborne Clarke's International Board and a corporate and M&A partner, with a career spanning more than 30 years – and multiple continents – Jordi's expertise lies in cross-border deals for a variety of multinational clients.
Jordi works across a broad range of sectors, but specialises in Tech, Media and Comms (TMC), Life Sciences, and Healthcare. A unique combination of technical corporate law mastery and deep sector knowledge has seen him cited as one of the ‘40 under 40’ by Iberian Lawyer, elected ‘Lawyer of the Year’ by Best Lawyers International for M&A and venture capital law and 18 years ranked in Chambers Global and Chambers Europe. But it is his versatility, emotional intelligence, and innate ability to anticipate and understand the goals of all parties in question that make him such a successful negotiator.
He approaches matters very well and provides the necessary advice with a global vision that allows him to give better advice.
Jordi Casas Thió is a great lawyer, an excellent negotiator and an experienced manager of complex transactions.
Representing foreign companies in their Spanish investments, and Spanish clients in the sales to foreign entities, his vast experience in cross-border corporate transactions and strategic skill in managing complex projects have seen him work with clients and multinationals that include Unilever, Vinci, Grifols, Enghouse Systems and Reno de Medici, advising on deals that cover everything from software systems and video games, to MedTech, pharmaceuticals, medical centres and more.
Jordi’s contributions to the successes of his clients help drive foreign investment, create jobs, boost the economy, and enable digital transformation. On a client-level, he’s more than a transactional lawyer, serving as day-to-day trusted adviser and ‘conductor’ of the assembled orchestra of legal experts often required for projects.

As a member of the International Board of Osborne Clarke, I champion diversity, inclusion and equality for all in the legal profession.
