More than 10 years of experience specialised in commercial and real estate law. He began his career with extracurricular internships at CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo while completing the Master’s in Corporate Legal Advisory at Centro de Estudios Garrigues.
He then joined Simmons & Simmons as a junior lawyer, later moving through the Corporate and M&A departments of firms such as ECIJA and Lener.
Throughout his career he has trained in top-tier advisory work, taking part in corporate restructurings, M&A transactions and real estate asset acquisitions, while advising leading companies and entities across multiple sectors on an ongoing basis.
His path across different firms has allowed him to live first-hand in-house legal projects with clients such as Club Atlético de Madrid, B&B Hotels and Grupo Starlite.
