I am an incoming Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Corporate and Financial Law at University College London (UCL Laws). I will be joining in early 2026.

In the meantime, I am  a doctoral researcher at the University of Oxford, under the supervision of Prof Horst Eidenmüller,  and  I also serve as Research Assistant for the Oxford Digital Assets Project, lead by Prof Louise Gullifer and Prof Jennifer Payne.

Until September 2025, I was a Departmental Lecturer in Law & Finance at the Law Faculty of the University of Oxford for three consecutive academic years. I was part of the teaching team for postgraduate courses on Corporate Finance Law, Principles of Financial Regulation, and Law & Economics of Corporate Transactions (BCL/MJur and MLF). 

My research focuses on government intervention in the economy. I am particularly interested in ad hoc interventions in situations of financial distress of large firms (in particular bailouts), including their effects in terms of transfers of wealth among different stakeholders (including taxpayers and society at large). 

Prior to embarking in my doctoral research  at Oxford Law, I was a London-based investment and corporate finance advisor. Before then, I was an investment professional with a London-based pan-European real estate private equity firm. I started my professional career as a corporate/M&A lawyer with Uría Menéndez in Madrid, where I practised from 2002 until 2009. As a senior associate at UM, I was involved in some of the landmark transactions in the Spanish private equity market and in the first round of mergers of the Cajas de Ahorros. I am a dual-qualified lawyer in England & Wales (solicitor) and Spain (abogado). 

I graduated in Law (Licenciatura en Derecho) and Economics & Management (Licenciatura en ADE) from ICADE E-3. After my stint as a lawyer at UM, I pursued  an MBA (Finance & Accounting) from The Wharton School. And while working in London as a real estate private equity investment advisor I read for an MSc in Taxation from the University of Oxford.

I frequently publish pieces relating to my research on bailouts. My most recent working paper, on bailouts and the US scholarship on public interest in Chapter 11, was selected for presentation at the Harvard-Wharton Insolvency and Restructuring Conference held on 20-21 September 2024. I am currently working on pieces that apply my bailout framework to the situations of Thames Water and British Steel.
