Lawyer with two decades of professional practice, specialized in complex litigation of various kinds, with a distinguished background in civil, administrative, and criminal law. He also has solid experience in commercial arbitration, complemented by graduate studies that strengthen his analytical capacity and approach to highly sophisticated legal issues.

Throughout his career, he has represented national and international companies in high-impact regulated sectors, such as telecommunications, energy, and banking. His deep understanding of the judicial system — acquired both in private practice and during his time in the judiciary — allows him to design comprehensive and effective legal strategies.
