CORPORATE & COMMERCIAL LAWYER
When business decisions require experience
“There are business decisions where knowing the law is not enough. You need to understand the business, the interests of the parties involved and the objective to be achieved.”
My approach begins with understanding the business, the people involved and the client’s objectives. From there, I provide the legal judgement needed to support informed decision-making.
When a matter requires expertise in other areas, I work with trusted professionals and coordinate their involvement, ensuring that the client has a clear point of contact throughout.
TRACK RECORD
Experience advising companies, shareholders and investors
Before establishing my independent practice, I developed my career at leading Spanish and international law firms, advising on a wide range of corporate and commercial matters of varying complexity.
My practice focuses primarily on Corporate / M&A, advising companies, business owners, investors, private equity funds and family offices on mid-market transactions, both domestic and international. I also have experience in joint ventures, corporate reorganisations and transactions related to the real estate sector.
Today I practise independently through FNM Legal.
