About me

Lawyer specialising in maritime law and recreational boating

A member of the prestigious Madrid Bar Association since 2017, I have extensive experience in providing legal advice on civil and commercial matters, with a particular focus on the nautical sector.

My specialisation was further developed through the Master's Degree in Maritime Law at the Abat Oliba CEU University, where I gained an in-depth understanding of the legal aspects of maritime activity.

I currently provide legal advice to owners, skippers, brokers, yacht managers, marinas and companies in the nautical sector, assisting themwith the various legal issues relating to their vessels and the conduct of their business.

I offer practical, personalised and specialist advice, tailored to the needs of each client and each transaction.
