PLMJ advises Davidson Kempner and ECS on logistics joint venture on the Iberian Peninsula

Eco12 September 2026 at 17:58

PLMJ advised US asset manager Davidson Kempner and Portuguese private equity firm ECS Capital on the creation of a joint venture with Magna Industrial, an Iberian developer and constructor specializing in logistics, industrial and infrastructure assets. The operation aims to create a new investment platform for modern logistics and industrial assets located across the Iberian Peninsula.

The advisory was coordinated by PLMJ's Real Estate and Tourism team, led by partner Ricardo Reigada Pereira, with support from lawyers Diogo Neves, Tamara Martins da Fonseca and Felipe Cunha. The operation also involved a multidisciplinary team that included the Urban Planning and Territorial Management practice area, led by partner Andreia Candeias Mousinho, and the Banking, Finance and Capital Markets practice area, led by partner André Figueiredo.

The new platform responds to opportunities created by the reconfiguration of supply chains, which has led the logistics sector to focus on nearshoring strategies, namely bringing production closer to consumer markets.

Why this matters

The joint venture brings together a US private equity giant, a Portuguese fund and an Iberian developer to invest in logistics on the Iberian Peninsula, signaling growing interest in the industrial and logistics sector in the region. This operation may create new opportunities for industrial real estate development in Portugal and Spain, benefiting sector companies and potential tenants, and reflects the trend of relocating supply chains closer to European markets.

Manuel earns €15,000 per month from a successful business that started at home: "I earn €500 per day"

Manuel, an entrepreneur from Palma de Mallorca, in Spain, started about ten years ago washing cars in his home garage, for friends and acquaintances, and transformed this activity into a business that earns between 10,000 and 15,000 euros per month, with daily revenues between 300 and 500 euros. His service evolved from conventional washes to more specialized detailing cleanings, serving between three and five cars per day, and he implemented a monthly subscription system (€15.99 for quick washes and €45.90 for complete cleaning). Despite the success, he faced bureaucratic difficulties, including the temporary closure of the establishment due to an urban planning infraction. Manuel estimates that a manual car wash business can start with an initial investment of five to ten thousand euros.

Portugal recorre cada vez mais à arbitragem, mas oferta continua concentradaPhoto by franky1st on Pexels

Portugal increasingly uses arbitration, but supply remains concentrated

Portugal reached a historic record in 2025 with 16,524 arbitration cases filed, an 11% increase compared to 2024, driven mainly by consumer arbitration, which facilitated citizens' access to alternative dispute resolution. The most frequent disputes involve insurance, transportation, and essential services such as electricity, gas, and water. Although there are 40 authorized arbitration centers in Portugal, commercial arbitration remains concentrated in a single center in Lisbon, and 89% of arbitrators are men aged between 40 and 60. Experts warn that growing demand may overload the centers, which must strengthen resources and diversify institutional offerings, while also drawing attention to the need for public investment in state courts.
