This year, the lawyer has also been named by the Best Lawyers directory, earning the title of “Lawyer of the Year” in Barcelona, in the category of Intellectual Property Law.

Chambers Global compiles its guide through a rigorous research process based on recommendations from in-house lawyers, external experts, and private practice lawyers. Its goal is to provide trusted information and reviews of the world’s top lawyers and law firms.
