Carlota Zabala Barbera is Affiliated Counsel to Natro Legal Associates and a member of the firm's wider legal team, engaged for her specialist command of tax and international matters. A Spanish lawyer and tax advisor, she brings experience across M&A, international taxation, and cross-border work — including time at PwC — to one of the areas where technical precision matters most.
Her practice centres on the point where tax, corporate structure, and cross-border regulation meet. She advises on international taxation and the tax dimensions of M&A and corporate transactions, and is currently focused on cross-border legal and regulatory compliance, guiding clients on international matters across European markets, with particular depth in the life sciences sector.
Carlota holds a Law Degree and two master's degrees — one in Access to the Legal Profession and Procuratorship, and one in Taxation and Tax Advisory (Máster en Tributación y Asesoría Fiscal) — and has passed the Spanish State Bar Examination for access to the legal profession. That combination of legal qualification and dedicated tax training underpins the technical rigour she brings to complex, multi-jurisdictional questions.
She works in Spanish, Catalan, and English, with a working knowledge of Russian and Italian — a linguistic range suited to the international character of her work. For Natro Legal Associates and its clients, Carlota brings specialist tax and cross-border insight that complements the firm's corporate, regulatory, and international practice.
