Professional background

Professional background

For more than twenty years, I have been a lawyer specialising in Economic and Corporate Criminal Law, and for over a decade I have focused on Criminal Compliance, Anti-Bribery Systems, Whistleblowing Channels and Internal Investigations.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work across a wide range of sectors — including real estate development and investment, healthcare and medical services, foundations and associations, educational institutions, ports and sports federations, logistics and technology — providing criminal legal advice and regulatory compliance services to private individuals, SMEs and large corporations, as well as to members of their Boards of Directors, Senior Management and middle management.

My vocation has always been to deliver high-quality, professional, specialised and personalised legal advice tailored to the specific needs of each client.

For more than ten years, I have combined legal practice with teaching in seminars, courses and postgraduate programmes delivered by leading universities, associations and professional bodies, in the areas of Procedural Law, Criminal Law, Compliance, Whistleblowing Systems and Internal Investigations.

I have always sought active participation in professional associations, which has led me to be a member of the Criminal Law Section and the Compliance Committee of the Barcelona Bar Association. I also chaired the Catalan Compliance Association (COMPCAT) between 2017 and 2020, and I currently serve as the 2nd Vice President of RED FLAG, the Association of Experts in Whistleblowing Channels and Protection of Reporting Persons.
