Introduction
I am a partner at Mariscal Abogados and coordinate the M&A/Private Equity department.
With extensive experience, I specialize in mergers and acquisitions, venture capital operations, restructurings, commercial contracting, corporate law, and bankruptcy law, with a strong international focus.
Before joining Mariscal Abogados in 2015, I worked for several years as a corporate lawyer at the prestigious law firm Gómez Acebo y Pombo and as an in-house lawyer in the legal department of Amazon.es. This experience granted me a broad vision and expertise in providing legal advice to top multinational companies.
I always seek to contribute my negotiation skills and commercial approach in operations and legal advice, prioritizing the client’s interests and seeking solutions and strategies to ensure successful closings.
Much of my work is addressed to foreign companies wishing to invest and participate in the Spanish market. To do this, I leverage my deep technical knowledge, understanding of the usual standards and requirements of foreign professional investors and linguistic proximity, to anticipate legal needs based on the client’s economic activity.
I have contributed as an author and co-author to several specialized legal publications in commercial matters. In January 2022, I was appointed partner of the firm in recognition of my professional career.
