Full Profile

I am a dual qualified lawyer (English and Spanish) fluent in Catalan, Spanish and English.  I specialise in handling complex international disputes in the energy, engineering and construction sectors, including for insurers and reinsurers in respect of policy coverage and subrogated recoveries.  Most of my experience relates to disputes arising out of Europe and Latin America (except Brazil) although I have experience in a wide variety of jurisdictions.
