Professional background
With a 20-year professional career as a lawyer specialising in Economic Criminal Law, I have acted both in defence and prosecution in highly significant and technically complex criminal proceedings before the Supreme Court, the National High Court, the Provincial Courts and Criminal Courts throughout Spain. These cases include corruption offences, money laundering, tax offences, offences against the consumer market and corporate crime, among others.
I have also taken part in the design, implementation and development of corporate criminal risk prevention programmes, including the coordination of internal investigations within companies’ internal reporting systems.
Regarding my academic background, I hold a Master’s Degree in Economic Criminal Law from Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid and a Master’s Degree in International Economic Criminal Law from the University of Granada, both awarded with distinction. I also hold a Master’s Degree in Law and Legal Practice from the School of Legal Practice of the Vizcaya Bar Association, as well as a Postgraduate Degree in Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure from the German School of Criminal Sciences at the University of Göttingen.
I am also specialised in the impact of new technologies and cybersecurity on Economic Criminal Law, as reflected in my training in the “Blockchain and Digital Innovation” Specialisation Programme at the Instituto de Estudios Bursátiles and the “Advanced Specialisation in Blockchain” Diploma from the Complutense University of Madrid.
I lecture on the Master’s Degree in Economic Criminal Law at several universities, including Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Universidad de La Rioja and the University of Buenos Aires. I am the author of numerous publications on the subject and a regular speaker at conferences and seminars on economic criminal law.
